Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Erin Smith integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to help clients manage symptoms and build skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches alternative coping strategies - useful for depression, anxiety, and anger issues. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships; it can support work on family dynamics, couples issues, and trust-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each client to explore which methods align with their goals, needs, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This partnership helps tailor treatment to the individual rather than fitting the person to a single model.

Online therapy with Erin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
