Erin Chilelli , LCSW

Erin Chilelli is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Erin aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

She believes therapy should fit each person. Conversations and the treatment plan are tailored to individual needs and goals. That can mean practical coping strategies for anxiety, support after loss, or guidance through life changes like divorce or fertility struggles.

Erin also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. She works with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, postpartum challenges, and young adult transitions. Her approach stays focused on clear, achievable steps clients can try between sessions.

Clients can expect straightforward, respectful communication and a focus on what helps in everyday life. Erin emphasizes building tools for better emotion regulation, clearer decision making, and steadier routines. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort toward more manageable days.

Her practice uses a combination of conversation and goal-oriented work to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Erin supports people through parenting strain, family problems, and major life shifts while honoring personal values and strengths.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are focused on clear steps and real-life results. One common approach emphasizes learning practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, behavioral adjustments, and problem-solving to reduce distress in daily situations. Another approach concentrates on grief and life transitions, helping people process loss, reorganize routines, and find ways to move forward at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative process guides which techniques are prioritized and how sessions are structured to match each person's needs.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions work well when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives, manage appointments from different locations, and keep momentum between meetings.
