About Erin
Erin Ellis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, anger, relationship concerns, and related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Erin uses straightforward conversation and listening to understand what causes the most strain. She draws on client-centered approaches to follow the client's lead and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses in real life.
She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotional intensity or repeated cycles of distress come up. That can mean working on skills for tolerating distress, managing strong feelings, and improving communication. The work usually mixes skill practice with talking about relationships and patterns that keep problems going.
Erin describes treatment as a collaborative process where goals are set together. She adapts how sessions proceed based on what the person says is getting in the way. Progress is measured in practical changes like fewer angry outbursts, calmer reactions at work, or clearer boundaries with others.
Before the first session clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Erin’s approaches apply to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach emphasize how the person wants to set goals and which areas to prioritize, such as anger at home or stress at work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then tries specific experiments to change them. In an online setting that can include worksheet exercises, homework assignments, and short behavior trials between sessions to test new ways of reacting.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skill-based practices translate well to remote work because they often involve step-by-step techniques the person can practice between meetings.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps the client meet real-life goals. That means the plan can change as new problems or progress appear.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions are that they can fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow focused short check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it easier to bring in homework or real-world examples from the client’s daily routine.
