About Erin
Erin Taylor is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She brings 20 years of experience that span crisis intervention and outpatient care. Erin takes a straightforward, compassionate approach and aims to make conversations feel calm and practical for people under stress.

Background and approach
Erin has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and other mood disorders. Erin uses short-term, goal-focused methods as well as longer work when needed. She draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.
Sessions are collaborative and based on what the person wants to change. Her past roles include crisis teams, emergency room coordination, shelter work for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, substance abuse programs, and outpatient settings. That background informs how she balances safety, planning, and skill-building in sessions.
Erin aims to create a warm, respectful space with a touch of humor where people feel heard. She works with individuals to build practical tools for coping, managing anger, and moving through life changes. The plan is tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around their priorities rather than a fixed plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems like anger and anxiety going.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and stress. It can be useful alongside other techniques for managing mood and strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and practicing new skills together. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing feels easier. These options add flexibility so people can get help around their daily schedules.
