About Erin

Erin Kemp is an LCSW licensed in Louisiana with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also helps people facing sleep problems, parenting stress, career frustrations, and major life changes.

Erin uses straightforward, person-focused work. She treats the person as the expert on their life and starts by listening to what matters most. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. That can look like learning specific behavior changes, trying new ways to respond to frustration, or practicing short mindfulness exercises to calm an upset mind.

Her background includes a mix of approaches that fit common everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot patterns in thinking and change actions that fuel anger or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance tools. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals front and center during planning and decision making.

Erin also uses motivational interviewing to help people move from wanting change to taking steps. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions when slowing down and noticing reactions is useful. Together these methods aim to reduce reactive anger and build clearer choices in difficult moments.

People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Erin accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Erin uses approaches online

Erin commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test different actions, which can reduce anger that comes from automatic reactions. DBT contributes clear emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance strategies people can use when they feel flooded or stuck.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the client’s goals, and motivational interviewing to support commitment to change. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Erin will talk through what feels most useful and adjust the approach based on the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when you only need a quick progress review, and reduce travel time. It can also make some skills practice simpler, for example doing a guided breathing or grounding exercise together on a call. Licensed professionals use the same core therapeutic tools online as in person, and sessions are adapted to match each person’s daily life and goals.
