How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Erin often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work based on their needs. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management. In some cases she draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help with intimacy-related issues and relationship repair by working with emotions and interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will ask about goals, daily challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the two of you will try practical strategies and adjust the plan so it fits how you prefer to work and what you want to change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you read facial expressions and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief exchanges when longer meetings aren’t possible. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while working toward clear goals.
