How Erin's approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and helps shape goals that feel meaningful. This approach supports people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger over time.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These tools are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when impulses lead to regretted actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adjust methods as needed. This is a collaborative process and changes can be made as progress unfolds.

Confirm current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules call for them. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and skill practice to work well in remote sessions, helping clients apply tools between meetings.
