How these approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and closeness. It helps people notice patterns in their relationships and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s experience and priorities; the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers support while people decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments and homework to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while, mixing techniques, or adjusting plans based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a session with lower bandwidth. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to practical needs while focusing on skills you can use between meetings.
