Background and approach

She blends solution-focused work to set short-term goals and motivators to keep momentum. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting daily life, with care taken to move at a person’s pace. Many people come for help with grief, compassion fatigue, or transitions related to work and caregiving.

Erin also supports those facing chronic illness, cancer, end-of-life concerns, and veteran-related issues. She helps people talk through relationship strain, communication problems, and questions about life purpose. In sessions, Erin emphasizes practical skills you can use between meetings.

She tailors the plan to what matters most to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Progress is tracked through small, measurable steps so change feels manageable. Erin has four years of professional experience in clinical settings.

She offers services in English and practices with attention to respect, sensitivity, and compassion. To begin, Erin guides people through an initial matching and scheduling process so work can start efficiently.

How Erin Brings CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Erin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT sessions focus on simple exercises and practicing new skills between meetings, which translates well to video or phone work. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and to track small wins that build confidence over time.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Erin discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their goals, concerns, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on symptom relief, practical steps, or processing difficult events, and that plan can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering different ways to connect. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when in-person visits aren’t possible.
