She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, family-related problems, and coping with life changes.

Erin uses several well-known therapy approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and elements of attachment-based and client-centered work. She tends to focus on practical skills you can use between sessions. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to the client and identify small, manageable steps forward.

Her background includes work in both clinical and community settings over a decade, giving her experience with a broad range of life challenges. Sessions begin with gathering goals and deciding which approaches fit a person’s needs. Erin emphasizes straightforward tools from therapies such as CBT and DBT alongside values-based ACT strategies.
She works in English and practices from Kentucky. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and agree a plan.
How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify what matters to them and take small actions that align with their values. ACT often focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that fit a person’s goals rather than arguing with every thought.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot thinking patterns that worsen mood and to practice concrete skills for changing behaviors. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems with daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy ideas guide exploration of relationship patterns and how early connections affect present behavior, which can be helpful for family or relationship struggles.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Sessions often begin by setting practical goals and trying a couple of techniques to see what fits.
Confirm the current online session formats before booking since the therapist’s profile lists messaging, live video, and phone as communication options used in her practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a young adult’s life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offering options that do not require being on camera for every meeting.
