About Erin

Erin Uphoff is a licensed clinician in Maryland who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a strengths-based outlook to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With eight years of professional experience and credentials as an MD and LCSW-C, she emphasizes collaboration and respects each person as the expert on their own life. Erin works to identify practical steps clients can take toward more stability and confidence while honoring the client’s priorities and pace.

Her practice also addresses related issues such as body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity, mood disorders, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, self-love, social anxiety, women’s issues, and workplace difficulties. Erin draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and client-centered principles to tailor sessions to individual needs.

She frames change as a process that requires courage and support, offering professional guidance aimed at empowering clients to make meaningful, sustainable shifts in how they think and relate to themselves and others.

Approach-Focused Online Care for Stress and Anxiety

Erin integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered practices into online sessions to help clients develop clearer thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, mood challenges, and workplace stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring goals and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist partners with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are shaped by that collaboration, and adaptations are made over time as priorities change.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions while balancing daily responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, accessible support across a variety of formats.
