How Erin’s Approaches Work Online

Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people build coping skills for anxiety and depression through step-by-step practice and behavior changes. Another approach centers on processing trauma and related symptoms by naming triggers, learning grounding techniques, and creating a plan to reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, discuss what feels manageable, and try methods together to see what fits. Plans are adjusted over time so work in therapy matches the client’s needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and varied daily routines.
