Background and approach

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental tone and honest feedback. She draws on nine years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from Clark Atlanta University. Erin has spent much of her career supporting people with relationship issues, family conflict, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with major life changes.

She also works with concerns related to trauma, grief, chronic health challenges, and caregiver stress. Erin uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She tailors techniques to each person’s situation and comfort level.

Sessions emphasize simple tools you can use between meetings. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Erin notes that evening appointments are common but she can be flexible when needed.

Work starts by identifying priorities and picking practical next steps.

How Erin's Approaches Fit Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and a steady space to talk things through.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and manage stress or unhelpful thinking.

Erin treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made along the way so the work feels useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions are a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, journaling support, or work that fits around a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments during evenings or between other commitments.
