Erin Mace, LPC

Erin Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns - from stress, anxiety, and depression to trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and family conflicts. Her practice also addresses issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Erin creates a collaborative, compassionate space where individuals can explore emotions, clarify values, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. She helps clients work through guilt, shame, isolation, and feelings of emptiness while supporting growth in areas like communication, self-love, and life purpose. Her work includes support for young adults, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and attachment-related concerns.

Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, Erin tailors interventions to each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. She emphasizes clients' strengths and potential for healing while partnering with them to set goals and build skills. Erin’s practice aims to combine empathy with practical tools so individuals can navigate difficult transitions and cultivate more fulfilling relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Approaches to Healing and the Convenience of Online Care

Erin integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet the needs of each person she sees. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present-day patterns - it helps people understand attachment styles, improve trust and connection in relationships, and address feelings of emptiness or chronic isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration - it creates space for clients to explore their experience at their own pace and supports growth in self-esteem, self-love, and decision-making.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Erin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, adjusting techniques and focus areas as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, and other commitments. These options can make it easier to keep regular appointments, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or while traveling. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver a consistent, goal-oriented therapeutic experience that fits into everyday life.
