About Erin
Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She brings ten years of counseling experience and uses a person-centered, nonjudgmental style to help people manage stress and anxiety. Erin works with adults and emphasizes respect for LGBTQ+ identities, neurodivergence, kink-aware practice, and consensual non-monogamy when relevant to a person's concerns.
Erin holds a Master of Science in Education and an Education Specialist degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kentucky.
Background and approach
She also earned a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the same university. These degrees inform her thoughtful, reflective approach to therapy. Her work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with elements of cognitive behavioral and attachment-informed techniques.
Sessions focus on what the individual wants to change, practical skills to manage symptoms, and clarifying values to guide decisions. Erin emphasizes teaching tools and offering clear explanations so people can use what they learn between sessions.
She has experience with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, and career stress. Erin tailors strategies to each person's strengths and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are 45 minutes long and available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging Monday through Friday.
People can schedule through the site dashboard and complete a short questionnaire to match with her.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions based on their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses, helping people build healthier connections and repair trust.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they try techniques, see what fits, and adjust the plan as needs change rather than committing to a single method up front.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for a fuller conversation and face-to-face work while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, skills practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit sessions into busy days and keep continuity during life transitions.
