Erin Murphy , LPCC

Erin Murphy (she/they) is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor-Supervisor (LPCC-S) practicing in Kentucky who offers trauma-informed, individualized care that affirms neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, kink, and ethically non-monogamous identities. She blends a person-centered, non-directive stance with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to tailor interventions to each adult client’s strengths, needs, and goals.

Erin holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology (MS.Ed.) and an Education Specialist degree (Ed.S.) in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kentucky, as well as a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the same university. She is currently certified as an ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) and as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS), and she has previously held certifications as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and as a Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH).

Her clinical work addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress and burnout, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, bipolar disorder, sleep difficulties, career challenges, and intimacy-related issues. She emphasizes psychoeducation alongside adapted therapy techniques to help normalize experiences, reduce stigma, and support practical progress toward client-defined goals.

Erin offers 45-minute sessions by phone, video, or chat Monday through Friday, with typical first appointments beginning at 10:00 AM and the last session of the day starting at 6:00 PM. Prospective clients are encouraged to send a message with questions or concerns before beginning services.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Erin integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise - this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and to support healing around connection, trust, and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgmental, supportive stance in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, validating their experience while fostering self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Erin is offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules, communication styles, and accessibility needs. These formats make it possible to attend regular sessions without commuting and to maintain continuity of care across changing life demands, while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists experienced in working with diverse identities and neurotypes.
