Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Erin draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-guided actions, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making changes that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current reactions, useful for communication and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering empathy and support while the client guides what to work on.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust what they do if something isn’t helpful, so the plan responds to real needs and outcomes.

Erin offers 45-minute sessions by phone, video, or chat. Online work can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit into a busy week, support shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Please confirm available session options when booking so you know what format will be used for your appointments.
