Erin Saxer, LCSW, LCPC

Erin Saxer is a licensed therapist in Montana with 18 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. She approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address what feels overwhelming. Erin frames therapy as a collaborative process in which courage to seek change is met with steady support and practical guidance.

As a holder of LCSW and LCPC credentials - the first indicating a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the second indicating a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - she brings clinical training and a breadth of practice experience to her work. Erin focuses on building confidence, improving coping skills, and helping people find more fulfilling, balanced lives while attending to the realities of grief, mood concerns, panic, and post-traumatic stress.

Whether someone is taking the first step toward therapy or looking for renewed momentum in their recovery, Erin aims to create a respectful, strengths-based space where realistic goals and meaningful progress can emerge.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Care

Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues a person brings to therapy. One common focus is trauma-informed support - an approach that recognizes how past harm affects current thoughts, feelings, and behavior and emphasizes safety, pacing, and empowerment while processing traumatic experiences. Another key element is skills-based work for anxiety and mood concerns - practical strategies that help regulate emotions, reduce worry and panic, and build confidence through step-by-step practice. A third area of focus is grief-sensitive care, which honors loss while helping people find ways to cope and integrate change into their lives.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Erin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how and when people engage in therapy while maintaining the structure and clinical support of work with a licensed professional.
