About Erin
Erin Sperico is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 12 years of experience working with mood concerns, trauma, relationship issues, and parenting stress. Erin aims to build an easygoing, respectful connection so people feel comfortable talking about hard things.
Erin uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She combines client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies are used to create small, usable steps between appointments. Her background includes supporting people with depression, post-traumatic stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD-related challenges. Erin also helps with issues like abandonment, caregiver strain, and communication problems.
She draws on experience to tailor sessions to what each person needs most. Sessions emphasize collaboration. Erin listens first, then helps set clear goals and manageable actions.
She works to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills that can be used day to day, such as breathing practices, behavioral experiments, and short problem-solving exercises. Erin practices in North Carolina and offers services in English.
For many people, therapy becomes a place to test new ways of thinking and relating, and she aims to guide that process with patience and direct feedback.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps people feel heard so they can set their own goals. This approach is useful for anyone feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online sessions can include simple homework like tracking thoughts, trying behavioral experiments, and bringing observations back for discussion. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people notice and name strong emotions and change patterns that cause disconnection. In individual work this can mean learning to tolerate difficult feelings and practice new ways of relating to oneself or others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. Together they review what's helping and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like CBT and mindfulness in everyday moments.
