Erin Lee

Erin Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice in Illinois. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and anger. She aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can talk through what is getting in the way of daily life.

Erin completed a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago and also holds a mindfulness certification. Her work blends solution-focused methods with dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness training. She uses plain language and step-by-step strategies so people can try new skills between sessions.

For people who want quicker relief, she offers a summer fast-track option that focuses on one clear goal across six meetings in three weeks. That format uses psychoeducation and practical tools designed for rapid change. Erin notes this is not aimed at those seeking long-term therapy.

She encourages small, manageable habit changes and accessible self-care practices. These strategies are meant to fit into busy lives and build toward noticeable improvements. Erin also offers a LiveChat option many clients find comfortable and convenient.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that emphasizes real-world tools and steady progress. The work centers on what a person wants to change and how to take those first practical steps.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants clearer direction and motivation despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress, anxiety, and anger management.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and will suggest methods to try together. That collaborative process helps match practical tools to each person's situation and pace.

The biography lists a LiveChat option and a short-term fast-track meeting plan as parts of practice, so confirm what session types are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter focused check-ins, and let people use tools in real-life moments. Licensed professionals can guide homework, teach skills, and adjust plans based on what is working in day-to-day life.
