Approaches that guide online work
Erin often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT tools are practical - for example, tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or manage mood.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and grounding practices that reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment coping. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people need support finding internal reasons to change and to build sustainable next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will discuss goals, preferences, and current struggles and then suggest approaches to try. She treats the plan as collaborative and adjusts methods based on what fits and helps over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it may allow shorter check-ins during a break, remove travel time, or let someone join from a quieter room when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so therapy fits daily routines rather than demanding major schedule changes.
