Erin Eiland , LPCC

Erin Eiland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and identity questions related to LGBT issues. She also supports people living with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and difficulties with self-esteem or anger. Erin writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Her style is client-centered and solution-focused. She starts by listening to what matters most to each person, then builds on strengths and real-life routines. Erin commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns.

Erin has eight years of clinical experience in California working across a broad range of concerns, including adoption and foster care related issues, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and body image struggles. She integrates skills-based work with chances to reflect on emotions and past experiences. Sessions may include talk therapy, structured skill practice, and creative tasks when helpful.

Clients can expect clear goals, an emphasis on usable coping tools, and flexibility in how sessions are arranged. Erin adapts the pace to each person’s comfort and uses plain language rather than clinical jargon. She aims to help people make small, steady changes that fit their daily lives.

Therapy is offered in English and provided via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Scheduling follows a short intake and matching process before booking.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Erin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and reactions. That can help with communication problems, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues in adult relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods over time. The process is collaborative so clients can try different techniques and keep what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around school, work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
