How Erin uses approaches online and why they help
Erin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of urges and impulses.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck or ambivalent. That approach focuses on clear, practical steps and on strengthening a person's own reasons for changing. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work; Erin collaborates with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can see a therapist from home or work. Erin will discuss how to shape sessions so they work with a client's routine and challenges.
