About Erin
Erin Sperico is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Erin uses several practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and make changes that matter in day-to-day life.
Erin combines Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques to focus on what a person wants to change now. She uses mindfulness exercises and solution-focused work to build small, usable skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work with relationship and intimacy issues, helping people notice and shift interaction patterns.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Counseling from Liberty University and over a decade working with individuals facing mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma-related concerns. Erin also addresses abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, emptiness, and feelings of isolation or shame.
In sessions she aims for straightforward conversations about coping strategies, problem-solving, and practical next steps. That can include learning grounding and mindfulness practices, testing small behavior changes through cognitive techniques, or mapping communication patterns that cause conflict.
People often seek her help when they feel stuck after life transitions such as finishing school, starting a first job, or navigating changes in relationships. She supports work on forgiveness, guilt, jealousy, infidelity, and finding clearer life purpose while respecting each person’s pace and goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Erin uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's concerns and priorities, offering a listening stance and collaborative goal-setting. This approach is useful when someone wants to name what matters most and decide practical next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to test thoughts and change patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and ADHD-related organization by teaching short exercises and behavior experiments to try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and change the ways they relate in close relationships. It is aimed at shifting interaction patterns and improving connection or resolving recurring conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try together. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted over time based on how well they fit.
