About Erin

Erin Schober is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Washington who emphasizes practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy within a compassionate, individualized framework.

Background and approach

With four years of professional experience, she focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions while addressing related concerns such as relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem, career issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice also includes support for more specific challenges including aging and geriatric issues, cancer and caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and trauma-related difficulties such as post-traumatic stress and sexual assault.

Erin adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's situation, drawing on motivational interviewing and solution-focused elements when helpful to set realistic goals and build coping skills. Erin approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she frames beginning therapy as a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life.

She offers a supportive partnership aimed at practical coping strategies and gradual progress tailored to each client’s needs.

Approaches for Online Coping and Growth

Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past traumatic experiences with targeted techniques that reduce retraumatization and support recovery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each client to explore their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it possible to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs and to continue making progress even when in-person visits are difficult, while maintaining the same therapeutic focus on skills, coping, and goal-setting.
