About Erin
Erin Dunham is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Massachusetts with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on young adult issues along with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and family problems. Erin works with people who are navigating big life changes, relationship strain, grief, or struggles with mood and self-esteem.
Erin uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice patterns, manage symptoms, and build small, workable routines. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find motivation for change and set realistic goals.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Massachusetts and work with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with addiction, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. Erin pays attention to how family history and relationships shape current difficulties.
In sessions she balances talking about the past with setting clear steps for the present. That can mean learning new coping skills, trying short experiments between sessions, or reframing unhelpful thoughts. The focus is on what the client wants to work on and on practical ways to get there.

Therapeutic approaches and what to expect online
Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical actions, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and managing daily stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment, which often reduces reactivity and helps with emotion regulation.She also integrates Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify their goals and find internal reasons to change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin making shifts in behavior or routine. Together, these methods are used collaboratively; the therapist and client discuss what fits best and adjust as goals evolve.
The original biography does not specify the exact online session formats offered. Before booking, confirm which session types are available. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, and remove travel time. The focus is on creating sessions that line up with the client's daily life and goals rather than on a single fixed method.
