Therapeutic approaches for online care

Erin often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and early connection experiences to improve current relational functioning and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for family issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to build practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts strategies as therapy progresses.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limits, or maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively in virtual formats to support ongoing growth and coping.
