Erin Murphy, LPCC

Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who provides trauma-informed, person-centered counseling in Kentucky. She uses a non-directive style that invites clients to guide the conversation while she offers support and practical tools. Her approach is affirming of LGBTQ+ identities, neurodivergence, kink culture, and consensual nonmonogamy, and she frames care around each person’s strengths and goals.

Erin brings multiple graduate degrees from the University of Kentucky, including a Master of Science in Education and an Education Specialist degree in Counseling Psychology, plus a Master of Arts in Philosophy. She has a decade of clinical experience working with people facing anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, and other challenges. She also has focused training relevant to ADHD and autism clinical services.

Her practice emphasizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and attachment-informed work. Sessions include psychoeducation and hands-on strategies so clients can try new ways of responding outside of sessions. The tone is collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive.

Erin holds Kentucky licensure as an LPCC and offers 45-minute sessions during weekday hours. Sessions are offered in English. She asks prospective clients to use the site’s scheduling tools to book and to message with questions before starting.

For people managing long-term health conditions or chronic pain, Erin supports coping strategies that address daily routines, sleep, emotional strain, and the impact of illness on identity and relationships. She works with each person to tailor interventions to their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, coping with chronic illness, and stress related to life change.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. That work focuses on building safety in relationships and improving communication and trust. Erin integrates client-centered principles to keep sessions guided by each person’s priorities and experience.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Erin collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and life situation. She will check in regularly and adjust techniques based on what is helpful.

The therapist’s profile notes 45-minute sessions and mentions phone, video, or chat in the original biography. Please confirm which session formats are available and how they are scheduled before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for people who prefer not to use video.
