Erin Saxer , LCSW, LCPC

Erin Saxer is a Montana-based clinician with 18 years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She holds LCSW and LCPC credentials - LCSW denotes Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LCPC denotes Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - reflecting advanced training in therapeutic practice and client care.

Erin emphasizes a strengths-based view, recognizing that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can be drawn on during the healing process. She frames the work of therapy as a collaborative effort that honors a person’s resilience while offering guidance and skills to navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. Taking the initial step toward a more fulfilling and stable life requires courage, and Erin aims to provide steady support and practical tools during that journey.

Her approach is oriented toward helping people build coping skills, increase confidence, and find meaningful ways to move forward after loss, trauma, or periods of intense stress. Erin works in English and practices in Montana, bringing nearly two decades of experience to each therapeutic relationship.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Erin Saxer draws on evidence-based, skills-focused strategies that teach practical coping, relaxation, and thought-reframing techniques to help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and mood disorders. These approaches aim to provide concrete tools clients can use between sessions to manage difficult emotions and improve daily functioning.

She also employs trauma-informed practices that prioritize safety, stabilization, and paced processing for people affected by trauma and abuse, helping them rebuild a sense of control and resilience. For those navigating loss, Erin offers grief-focused support that emphasizes meaning-making and gradual reintegration of motivation and confidence into life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Erin partners with clients to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and she adjusts methods as needed to fit each person’s needs and pace. Together they explore which techniques feel most effective and sustainable.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care from Montana or abroad. These formats allow flexible scheduling, easier integration of therapy into daily life, and continued continuity of support regardless of location, while working with licensed professionals who guide the process.
