Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erin uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience, creating a respectful and nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions by building on the client’s strengths and preferences.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she draws on. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and avoidance patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT techniques can assist with depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and developing healthier coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist works with the client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time. Online therapy offers flexibility in how care happens: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions when helpful.
