About Erin
Erin Chilelli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, and anger. Sessions address everyday pressures as well as bigger life changes.
Erin frames conversations around what is practical and useful. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new responses. That can mean learning ways to calm intense feelings, improving how someone communicates, or making step-by-step plans to handle a hard situation.
Her work includes support for people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related questions, and low self-esteem. She also helps with career stress, coping with postpartum depression, and concerns tied to adoption or foster care. Parenting and caregiver stress are regular topics in her practice.
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts sessions to the person in front of her. She focuses on clear goals and practical skills rather than vague promises. Conversations lead to concrete strategies that can be put into daily life.
People meet her in a straightforward, task-focused way. She asks about what has worked before, what has not, and what the person wants to try next. The initial steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Erin works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach concrete skills. Cognitive strategies help people notice and change thought patterns that worsen anxiety and anger. These techniques are practical and often include short exercises to do between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve mood.Behavioral approaches focus on actions and routines. This can mean building small habits, planning exposure to feared situations in steps, or practicing communication skills to reduce conflict. Those methods are useful for stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and mood problems.
Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. Erin will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels realistic. Together they try approaches and adjust them based on what works and what does not.
Confirm current session options before booking. The practical value of remote work is fitting sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a workday break, avoiding travel time, or using a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Online formats can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between meetings.
