About Erin
Erin Lee is an Illinois-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, parenting pressures, family conflict, ADHD, and life transitions. Erin aims to create a calm, compassionate space where clients can start to untangle what feels unmanageable.
Erin earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and holds an additional certification in mindfulness. She blends solution-focused ideas with dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness practices. Sessions emphasize practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Her style is straightforward and skills-oriented. Clients work on small, manageable habits and strategies they can use right away. She teaches mindfulness and positive self-care techniques that fit into busy routines.
During summer months Erin offers a fast-track option aimed at quick relief. That plan recommends six meetings over a three week span focused on a specific goal and includes psychoeducation and actionable skills. This is presented as a time-limited choice rather than a long-term plan.
Erin also offers a LiveChat option some clients prefer for its convenience and comfort. Before booking, anyone interested should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses on willingness to feel difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down stressful thoughts and behaviors into concrete patterns to change. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills, with mindfulness woven into the skills work.Erin treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try different strategies until something fits. The work is practical and goal-oriented, and clients are encouraged to give feedback as they try new skills.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family lives. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to try skills between meetings. The biography mentions a LiveChat option that some clients prefer; anyone interested should confirm current session options before booking. Ultimately the focus is on using ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness in ways that match everyday routines and priorities.
