Background and approach
Erin uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice thought patterns and try new behaviors. She brings mindfulness practices to help with intense emotions and sleep. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to find motivation for change.
Trauma-focused methods are available when past experiences continue to cause distress. Erin helps people build coping skills, increase safety, and reduce the power of intrusive memories or reactions. She adapts pacing to what each person can handle.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She helps clients break big problems into manageable steps. Many people come for anxiety or life transitions and leave with clearer plans and more confidence.
Approaches and online flexibility for everyday anxiety
Erin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions focus on specific skills like scheduling, thought records, and graded exposure to manageable steps.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that calm the nervous system and support better sleep. When motivation is low, motivational interviewing helps clients set their own goals and discover reasons to move forward.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Erin will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they check what’s working and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed, and chat or text can serve as quick check-ins or brief problem-solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to continue care during life transitions.
