How Erin’s Approaches Work Online and in Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can help with grief, anxiety, and major life shifts by clarifying what matters and building committed steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that increase distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace, using empathetic listening to help people feel heard and to guide their own problem solving.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adapts the plan as progress is made or life circumstances shift.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also let people work with licensed professionals across state lines when arrangements allow. Erin aims to help clients use strategies that work in day-to-day settings and to schedule therapy in ways that fit attendees’ routines.
