Erin Hawkinson , LPC

Erin Hawkinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable so clients can use what they learn in daily life.

Erin uses a client-centered stance, which means she tailors sessions to each person's needs and goals. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to offer a range of strategies. Those looking for behavior change sometimes choose hypnosis as an adjunct to talk therapy.

With 18 years of experience in mental health, Erin has worked with people facing grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, addiction-related concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, codependency, and communication or commitment problems. Her background includes work in trauma-informed care and other stress-focused programs.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Erin practices in Oklahoma and conducts therapy in English.

People who come to Erin can expect collaborative conversation, practical tools, and guided exercises to help build skills. She emphasizes a calm, approachable style and focuses on what clients want to change and why it matters to them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on what matters to the client and small steps toward change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with major life changes because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and preferences. Sessions can include discussion, skill practice, behavioral experiments, and optional hypnosis for those interested in a mindful behavior-change method.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allows brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
