Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving around organization, time management, and reducing procrastination. Erin believes clients bring important knowledge about their lives. She offers guidance and feedback while helping people try new strategies.
That collaborative stance is intended to build confidence and expand coping skills over time. Her practice pays attention to attention and learning differences, including Autism and Asperger Syndrome and intellectual disability, and to issues such as impulsivity and social anxiety. With young adults and parents especially, she focuses on routines, planning, and emotional regulation skills that can reduce daily friction.
People who work with Erin can expect a mix of listening, practical exercises, and follow-up tasks. She explains techniques in plain language and breaks down goals into manageable steps. The overall aim is to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming.
How Erin Uses Practical Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. It can be useful when someone needs understanding and guidance to sort out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, procrastination, and problems with organization and planning because it gives clear strategies people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing listening-focused sessions with concrete CBT exercises as progress unfolds.
Online therapy lets people choose what fits their life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and hands-on skill teaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can help keep work going between appointments and may suit people who prefer typed communication. These options add flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
