About Erin
Erin Borden is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on anxiety and stress. She draws on six years of professional experience to help people manage panic, low mood, and the everyday pressures that make life feel overwhelming. Erin encourages practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.
She helps people address parenting strains, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. Her work also covers caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, and problems with feeling isolated or empty.
Background and approach
Erin guides clients through panic attacks, mood shifts, and struggles with self-love and forgiveness. Erin centers sessions on the person in front of her, treating each story as the authority on what matters. She looks for strengths clients already have and builds on them.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on usable skills for day-to-day life. In a typical session she will listen closely, help name patterns that keep problems going, and suggest concrete tools to try between meetings. That might include breathing practices, clearer communication strategies, or steps to reduce overwhelm.
She supports progress at a pace that feels doable. Erin is based in California and provides care in English. She respects the courage it takes to ask for help and aims to create a steady, practical space for change.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach teaches tools to manage panic and anxiety through breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps to reduce avoidance. These techniques aim to lower immediate distress and make daily life more manageable.Another approach emphasizes skill-building for mood and self-esteem. Sessions work on small, repeatable habits like setting realistic goals, practicing self-compassion, and improving communication to ease workplace or parenting stress. These skills are meant to be practiced between sessions so progress is steady.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection and quick check-ins between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
