About Erin

Erin Lee is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in Illinois. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and conflicts within families. Her background includes a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an additional certification in mindfulness.

She builds a calm, compassionate space where clients can talk about what makes life feel hard. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than long theories.

Background and approach

Erin emphasizes small, doable changes that can make daily life easier. Her approach draws on solution-focused work combined with dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Mindfulness skills are woven into sessions so clients can notice stress patterns and try manageable practices between meetings.

During the summer months Erin offers a fast-track option for quick relief. That plan generally includes six sessions over three weeks with a clear, specific goal and practical, psychoeducational strategies to try right away. She also uses live chat as one of the session formats, alongside video calls, phone sessions, and text-based messaging.

Conversations are aimed at helping clients build routines, self-care habits, and skills that fit busy lives.

Approaches Erin names

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Erin commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her online work. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful for life transitions and anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Erin will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then blend techniques to match what feels most helpful. That might mean practicing mindfulness skills between sessions or focusing on concrete problem-solving for a specific issue.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a convenient check-in during a busy day, and messaging supports shorter reflections or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a packed schedule and try methods that suit day-to-day life.
