Erin Hamer

Erin Hamer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people navigate relationship strain, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, career questions, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. Erin brings a straightforward, empathetic style and aims to make therapy feel down-to-earth and usable.

Erin trained at Clark Atlanta University, earning both a Bachelor and a Master of Social Work with a concentration in health and mental health. She draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide conversations and build practical plans that fit daily life. Sessions focus on where each person is now and what goals feel important to them.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. Erin listens closely and offers feedback that is honest and relatable. Many clients have found this style helpful when tackling sensitive topics like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

Erin mixes evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused work. She uses Motivational Interviewing when people are figuring out next steps or weighing change.

She welcomes people seeking Christian counseling and those who prefer a counselor of color. Erin’s practice also includes work around women’s issues, multicultural concerns, self-love, and young adult transitions.

Practical matters are handled simply: sessions can be scheduled in the evenings with some daytime flexibility, and Erin supports clients through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Erin’s Approaches Fit Online Work

Erin uses several practical therapy methods that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities, helping callers feel heard and respected while they clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress unfolds. The choice of techniques evolves from what the client needs rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into busy lives. Many people appreciate evening appointment options and the ability to meet without traveling. The biography lists phone, video, and text as possible ways Erin connects with clients, but confirm current session options before booking. Online work can include shorter check-ins, step-by-step skill practice between sessions, and flexible scheduling to fit work or caregiving demands.
