As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Erin holds licenses in Oregon, Virginia, Texas, and Washington.

Whether the focus is trauma recovery, coping with loss, managing mood symptoms, or addressing attention and impulse concerns, Erin collaborates with each person to tailor interventions to their needs and goals.

Erin emphasizes partnership in therapy - she listens carefully, offers practical tools, and supports clients as they practice new ways of thinking and relating. Her aim is to help people build resilience, improve communication, and create more fulfilling, sustainable changes in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and connection

Erin integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into online work to address relationship and emotional concerns in practical ways. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and behaviors and can help with abandonment fears, attachment issues, and family dynamics. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. EFT concentrates on emotional experience within relationships, helping partners and individuals express needs more clearly and repair ruptures.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erin works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most useful and adjust methods over time to support meaningful change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing work to continue from different locations and at times that fit daily life. For many people this accessibility makes it easier to maintain consistency, try new skills between sessions, and stay connected to licensed professionals during transitions and challenging periods.
