About Erin
Erin Taylor is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with 20 years of experience. She has worked in crisis intervention and outpatient settings and helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and life changes.
Erin draws on long experience in emergency rooms, psychiatric settings, shelters, and outpatient clinics. She completed internships focused on domestic violence, sexual assault trauma, and substance abuse. Earlier work included juvenile probation and collaboration with schools, DCFS, and first responders.
In sessions she uses clear, practical tools rather than jargon. She combines client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral strategies and solution-focused techniques. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are included when they fit the issue at hand.
Her rhythm in session is straightforward: identify what feels most urgent, try small behavioral changes, and test what helps between visits. That approach is useful for anger that shows up at home, stress that builds at work, or grief that keeps returning.
Erin emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set short-term goals, track small wins, and adjust plans as needed. For someone who wants to manage temper, reduce resentment, or handle another person’s anger, she offers practical steps and follow-up strategies.
Sessions follow local practice in Illinois and are conducted in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Erin’s approaches work for online sessions
Erin uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding a person’s experience and reflecting what matters most to them. This approach helps people who feel heard and want to set personal goals for managing anger or stress.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often useful for managing temper, reducing worrying, and changing avoidant behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises to help notice physical and emotional cues before anger rises. These are simple attention skills people can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick approaches that match goals, daily routines, and how someone prefers to work. That process can include trying a technique for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. If you plan to use online sessions, discuss which options are offered and how they fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time while still using behavioral and mindfulness exercises between visits.
