About Erin
Erin Alig-Dimalanta is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anger, grief, trauma and abuse, family concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Erin speaks English and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address pressing everyday problems.
Erin focuses on practical steps clients can use when anger shows up at work, at home, or inside relationships. She helps people name what triggers their strong reactions and teaches ways to respond differently in the moment. Sessions tend to combine talk with hands-on strategies aimed at improving communication and reducing repeated patterns of resentment or outbursts.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people after loss, abuse, and major life changes. Erin pays attention to attachment and control issues that often underlie anger reactions. She also addresses related struggles such as guilt, shame, isolation, and difficulties with self-worth.
In session she draws on established, evidence-based approaches alongside attention to spiritual concerns when clients want that included. That means using interventions that target trauma symptoms, mood problems, and relationship patterns while also exploring personal meaning and values.
To get started clients choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns and reducing distress. One approach addresses trauma-related reactions by helping people process difficult memories and manage the ways those memories affect mood and behavior. This approach is useful when anger is tied to past abuse or post-traumatic stress. Another approach targets relationship and attachment patterns. It looks at how early bonds shape current reactions, and teaches communication and boundary skills to lower repeated conflict and reactive anger. This helps when control issues or attachment wounds fuel outbursts. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they test techniques and adjust the plan as progress and new concerns emerge. Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography did not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, and remove the need to travel to an office. For some people a phone check-in is less demanding on bandwidth and for others video sessions allow clearer communication through facial cues. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine and energy level.Areas of expertise
