Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Erin often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. ACT helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings without getting stuck, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and creating a supportive space where clients lead the conversation and explore their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-worth, improving relationships, and working through life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common method in her practice, offering concrete tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop behavioral skills for managing mood, stress, and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy provides flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
