About Erin

Dr. Erin Sullivan is a Connecticut-licensed psychologist with 13 years of clinical experience who focuses on parenting, ADHD, stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, family issues, self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She brings a practical orientation to helping clients manage organization, emotional self-regulation, and procrastination, and she integrates evidence-informed strategies to address related challenges such as autism spectrum presentations, impulsivity, intellectual disability, social anxiety and phobia, and young adult issues. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s strengths and knowledge about their life.

Dr. Sullivan draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behaviors, alongside Client-Centered Therapy that prioritizes empathy and attunement to what matters most to the individual.

She frames therapy as a shared effort, offering guidance, information, and constructive feedback to support progress. Based in Connecticut and credentialed as CT Psychologist 3547, she aims to help clients build practical skills for daily living and better emotional balance.

Prospective clients can expect a professional yet approachable clinician who values active problem solving and steady encouragement throughout the therapeutic process.

Approach-Focused Online Care and Practical Skill Building

Dr. Sullivan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or procrastination, and to practice concrete strategies that change those patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring goals and values.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses options with each person, weighs what matters most to their goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible. These formats allow for regular skill practice, timely coaching around organizational or emotional regulation challenges, and easier scheduling for people balancing work, school, or parenting responsibilities. Licensed professionals can tailor the mix of session types to provide practical support and steady progress without requiring frequent in-person visits.
