Background and approach

Then she helps set clear, manageable goals and looks for small changes that make everyday life feel more liveable. Erin draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to change unhelpful thoughts and reduce overwhelm. She also uses acceptance-based techniques to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the motivation to change behaviors. Sessions move at a steady, goal-focused pace. People can expect to talk about what matters most, try short exercises in session, and get simple steps to try between meetings.

Erin offers coaching-style support when clients want help with planning and follow-through. She works with concerns across the lifespan including aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, eating and food-related issues, and cancer-related stress. Erin sees individuals dealing with codependency, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, control issues, and emptiness, and helps them build clearer direction and coping skills.

Online support

How Erin’s Approaches Fit Online Care

Erin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance-based strategies in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which works well during video or phone sessions when thoughts and reactions can be talked through and practiced. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action, helping people choose steps that match what matters most even when feelings are hard to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters, suggests approaches that match the issue, and adjusts plans as the client learns what helps them most.

Online formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and health needs. Video calls let you see facial expressions and try interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief support, trouble-shooting between sessions, or ongoing coaching-style reminders. These options make it simpler to keep momentum while working toward change.
