About Erin
Erin Dunham is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and stressful periods in life. Erin listens first and then works with each person to set clear, doable goals.
Erin uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help calm the body and reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is part of her style when people want to make changes but feel stuck. People come to Erin for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, addiction, and questions about identity and relationships.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, attachment injuries, adoption or foster care issues, and the strain that can come from caregiving or cancer in the family. Her sessions are collaborative. Erin helps clients identify practical steps they can try between meetings and checks what is working.
She uses solution-focused tools when quick, concrete change is the goal and psychodynamic ideas when exploring patterns from the past makes sense. Erin aims to make things easier to manage, not to rush people through hard work. She meets people where they are, helps them notice small shifts, and builds on what already works in their lives.

Evidence-informed approaches available online
Erin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many stress-related problems.She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can help with emotional regulation and coping during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin treats deciding together as a collaborative step, matching methods to a person's goals, history, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. She will suggest options, try approaches, and adjust if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a shorter break, and messaging formats are helpful for quick check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable.
