Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy

Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change patterns that cause stress and low mood. One common approach focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thought patterns, helping people notice when thoughts are inaccurate and try different, more helpful ways of thinking. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with self-worth.

Another frequent technique centers on building small, practical habits and coping skills. Sessions include clear steps to practice between meetings, such as brief behavioral experiments or communication exercises that improve daily functioning and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will listen to your goals and preferences, explain reasonable options, and help you find what fits best. The plan can change as needs change, and clients are encouraged to give feedback about what helps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when you need it. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between in-person commitments and for accessing support without rearranging their entire day.
