About Erin
Erin Ellis is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage intense emotions and life stress. She focuses on everyday worries like anxiety, depression, and anger, and on struggles tied to relationships, addictions, and major life changes. Erin uses straightforward conversation to find what matters most to each person.
Sessions are adapted to the client's needs, with clear goals and practical tools. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental attitude.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and coping skills need strengthening.
Erin has five years of experience working in clinical settings in New York. That time includes supporting people facing trauma, grief, eating concerns, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as self-harm, codependency, ADHD, and intimacy-related struggles.
People who choose Erin can expect a collaborative style and clear next steps between sessions. She aims to make the process approachable and to teach tools people can use outside the appointment. Taking the first step toward change is framed as a courageous move, and she provides steady support along the way.

How client-centered and skills-based care works online
Client-centered therapy focuses on seeing the situation from the person's point of view and building a plan around their goals and values. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the choice of practical steps to try.Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and unhelpful patterns that feed anger or substance use.
Dialectical behavior therapy teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for handling crises, strong mood swings, and self-harm urges.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to connect from different places and schedules. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and messaging supports quick check-ins, short progress notes, or flexible step-by-step coaching between longer appointments.
These options aim to make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on skills and goals that matter to the person.
