How Erin’s approaches work in online therapy

Erin commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods when working with people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and creates step-by-step experiments to try new responses. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the person’s own priorities to shape sessions.

She also brings mindfulness and acceptance ideas into online work when helpful, teaching simple attention exercises and ways to notice difficult emotions without getting stuck. Together with the client, Erin figures out which approaches feel most useful and adapts them to the person’s goals and daily life in a collaborative way.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and lowering time spent traveling. Online sessions can make it easier to check in between appointments and to practice skills in real-life settings.
