How Erin's approaches translate to online therapy

Erin uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and negative self-talk. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at relationship patterns and improve how people connect with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will work with each person to test methods, adjust techniques, and choose what fits best with their goals and daily life. That shared planning helps tailor sessions so they stay practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing support between sessions and let people check in without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or busy schedules while using the therapeutic tools above in flexible ways.
