How Erin's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering empathy and support while helping clarify goals. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and compulsive patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills for noticing the present moment without judgment. It can reduce reactivity to stress, help with grief, and improve day-to-day coping with chronic illness or pain.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they shape a plan that may combine listening, skill-building, and experiments to try between sessions.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is low or when being on camera feels hard. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family, or health-related schedules.
