Erin Kemp , LCSW

Erin Kemp is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She works with people facing LGBT-related issues, parenting strains, career pressures, and challenges with intimacy and relationships. Erin encourages practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach starts by listening to each person's story and strengths. She follows a client-centered style that centers the person's goals and experience. Erin blends this with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that change daily life. Erin also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping tools. Motivational interviewing shows up when someone needs help clarifying goals or finding energy to make changes. These methods are used in simple, concrete ways during sessions. In practice she focuses on real-world problems like sleep disruption, grief, trauma and abuse, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and attention-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with body image, attachment wounds, and commitment or codependency issues. Erin offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions for convenience. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Erin blends approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. Sessions begin by letting the person tell their story while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps work focused on what matters to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Erin uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that improve mood and sleep. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Erin will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Together they set priorities and try techniques that fit daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video work is useful for longer therapy sessions that include skill teaching and conversation. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or fit a break at work. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people use approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and DBT skills in ways that match their routines.
