How Erin Uses Practical Approaches Online

Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and stress. CBT works well for setting concrete steps and testing new ways of thinking in everyday situations.

She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the client's priorities and paced to their needs. This approach helps people feel heard and build trust in the work. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple ways to respond to strong emotions and reduce reactivity through focused attention and breathing practices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt strategies together. The process is collaborative and may draw from multiple methods to match what the client needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins or when someone needs more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
