How her approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at connection patterns and helps people understand how early relationships affect current trust and intimacy challenges. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their needs. She adapts strategies over time so sessions stay focused and useful, and she encourages collaboration in choosing what to try next. Online formats make it easier to get consistent care. Video calls let therapists see facial cues and coach skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, and a way to extend support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or caregiving obligations and help therapy fit a busy life.Questions people ask about Erin
