Erin Goddard , LCSW

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She supports people dealing with addictions, career shifts, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. Erin also works with issues tied to aging, caregiving, cancer, and blended family concerns.

Erin uses practical talk and concrete steps in sessions. She listens first and helps clients name clear goals. Together they identify small changes that can feel doable. She encourages clients to build on strengths they already have.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered care and mindfulness. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing to help people clarify values and take action. Sessions mix skills practice, reflective conversation, and goal-focused planning.

Erin has seven years of experience as an LCSW practicing in Texas. She offers support for a long list of life challenges including grief, divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Her background includes work with people experiencing autism spectrum concerns and personality-related patterns such as avoidant or dependent traits.

Erin invites people to approach therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set realistic steps and track progress. The tone in sessions aims to be respectful, direct, and encouraging as clients work toward clearer priorities and behavior changes.

Approaches that translate to online care

Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and learn new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions include practical exercises and behavior experiments that are easy to practice between visits.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. That approach is useful for dealing with avoidance, chronic worry, and life transitions.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Erin will work with clients to choose or combine approaches based on their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they adjust plans and try different tools until a good fit emerges.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be a shorter check-in with lower bandwidth needs, and messaging formats make it easier to keep momentum between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work from different locations.
