Approaches that translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties where practical skills and structured strategies are helpful.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. This approach can be useful for stress, mood concerns, and managing strong emotions.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a personâs goals and ambivalence to foster internal motivation for change. It is particularly helpful when addressing behavior change, substance use, or readiness-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit care into everyday life. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to attend appointments from home or work, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support when schedules are busy. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver effective, client-centered therapy while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
