Erin Kemp, LCSW

Erin Kemp is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Erin speaks directly and kindly, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Erin views each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical options, then helps people try new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions may include small tasks to practice between meetings so progress can be noticed over time.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered skills to follow the person's pace and priorities, plus elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness for emotion regulation and stress relief. Motivational interviewing may be used when people want help strengthening their motivation to change.

Erin has helped people navigate relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, workplace challenges, and living with chronic illness or caregiving duties. She also supports those dealing with identity and intimacy concerns, body image, ADHD-related struggles, and burnout.

Erin practices in Louisiana and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and uses a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How Erin’s Approaches Work Online

Erin uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and habit changes by focusing on clear, practical steps. She also uses client-centered methods that put the person's goals first; this means sessions follow what matters most to the individual and move at their pace.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation, stress tolerance, or intense reactions are an obstacle. DBT techniques teach concrete skills for handling strong feelings and improving relationships, which can be helpful for people managing mood swings, anger, or relationship strain. Erin blends these approaches based on each person's goals and preferences, working together to find the best fit rather than assuming one method will suit everyone.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared tools, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed, live chat can be used for shorter exchanges, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the work focused and practical.
