Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erin Mace integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current emotional needs - it can help with attachment issues and recurring relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance, giving people space to explore values and self-worth while the therapist follows the client’s lead, which is useful for building self-esteem and clarifying life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting work over time so therapy remains responsive and effective.

Online therapy with Erin can be delivered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility - they make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from where the client is most comfortable. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can adapt these formats to provide structured, meaningful care across a range of concerns.
