About Erin
Erin Smith is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Kentucky. She focuses on common concerns such as anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self-esteem. Erin brings nine years of experience to sessions and aims to make therapy clear and approachable for worried parents and individuals seeking change.
She begins by building a strong working relationship. Erin believes a steady connection makes it easier to talk about hard topics.
Background and approach
She listens closely and meets people where they are without judgment. Erin uses practical, evidence-based methods in her work. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to help people clarify values and make meaningful changes. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She helps people identify tools they already have and adds new skills for coping, managing anger, and handling life changes.
Sessions move at a pace the client chooses and focus on steps that fit real life. Erin has worked across individual and group settings and has experience with issues like compulsions, phobias, process addictions, veteran and armed forces concerns, and compassion fatigue. She aims to support practical progress while respecting each person’s goals and timing.

How Erin’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new, more helpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship conflict.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Erin will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then choose techniques together that make sense for day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the individual rather than relying on a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skill teaching and deeper work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or ongoing prompts to stay on track. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other responsibilities while still using ACT, CBT, or DBT techniques in regular sessions.
