Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Work
Erin commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify personal values and develop practical strategies for living in ways that matter to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, avoidance, and navigating life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy is also a prominent influence, focusing on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns. This approach can help with intimacy-related concerns, family of origin issues, and building more secure connections with others.
Client-Centered Therapy underpins Erin’s style by prioritizing a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that lets clients lead the work. This person-centered foundation supports collaboration and tailors interventions to individual strengths and preferences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Erin uses flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. These options allow scheduling that fits busy lives, support continuity when travel or health issues arise, and offer multiple ways to engage so each person can choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
