How Erin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens carefully and follows the concerns the person brings, helping them set goals and choose what to work on. This approach is helpful for people who want their sessions to reflect their pace and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Erin uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments that can change mood and behavior. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or struggling with substance use. It focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings so a person can move toward goals at their own speed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to pick and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often blend methods so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people communicate in writing and fit therapy into busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around work, health, or caregiving demands.
