Erin Riley , LPC

Erin Riley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship struggles, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. Erin works with concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue as well.

Erin keeps sessions warm and conversational. She meets people where they are and builds goals together. Her style is interactive and motivational, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her approach blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused therapy. She also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful habits, and strengthen important relationships.

Erin has three years of post-graduate experience in mental health work. During that time she has supported people with intellectual disabilities and those on the autism spectrum, and has worked with concerns around substance use and crisis situations.

Sessions combine talk and skill-building. Erin tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs, using short exercises, reflective questions, and goal-focused steps. She aims to help people feel more capable of handling day-to-day challenges and big life changes.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy places the person and their priorities at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients shape goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing alternatives that can change feelings. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people name and respond to strong emotions and improve connection in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different tools. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods over time so the approach fits the client rather than forcing one style onto every problem.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a fuller, face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, and more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving commitments. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to fit therapy into a busy life.
