Erin Tyler-Gentry, LCSW

Erin Tyler-Gentry is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Her style is straightforward and empathetic, aimed at parents and busy adults who need clear tools and steady support.

Erin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses emotionally focused and mindfulness-based methods to help people tune into feelings and calm their nervous systems. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to process deeper themes when needed.

In the therapy room Erin pays attention to attachment patterns, communication problems, and issues around control and forgiveness. She works with people dealing with panic, social anxiety, trauma responses, and challenges around body image and self-love. Caregiver strain and isolation are common topics she helps clients navigate.

Clients can expect a mix of short-term practical plans and longer work on patterns that repeat across relationships. Erin combines solution-focused techniques with psychodynamic ideas to track how past experiences shape present reactions. She aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Erin is based in Texas and holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She has five years of clinical experience and conducts sessions in English using a variety of online formats.

Online care using CBT, EFT, and mindfulness

Erin practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT often involves simple homework tasks and experiments to change how daily routines and thinking patterns affect feelings.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients notice and name emotions and to shift how they respond to strong feelings. EFT is useful for improving connections with others and for working through patterns of shame or isolation. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions to teach breath-based and attention skills that lower reactivity and improve moment-to-moment calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy lets people choose formats that match their day. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and longer work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a straightforward check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework sharing, or ongoing support between sessions, making therapy more flexible for busy schedules.
