Erin Arney , LPCC, LMHC

Erin Arney is a licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of experience. She practices in Kentucky and helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Erin draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person.

Erin uses a straightforward, empathic style in sessions. She listens first, then works with clients to set realistic goals and small steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next, so people leave with practical tools to use between meetings.

Her background includes work in clinical and community settings over a decade. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with family problems, attachment concerns, abandonment, and challenges tied to chronic illness or aging. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Treatment draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. Erin blends these to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

Erin offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She communicates in English and works with people across Kentucky. The first meetings focus on understanding goals and making a plan together.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where people want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and helps people build different patterns in their close relationships and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will discuss options and adjust methods based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaboration where client feedback guides what techniques are used and how progress is measured.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good when visual cues matter, phone sessions can fit when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or text can support ongoing check-ins and brief skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to work around busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets disrupted.
