Online support options
Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on values-based action. It supports work on life purpose, self-love, and coping with change by combining acceptance with committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for stress, depression, impulsivity, and building problem-solving skills. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation; it pairs well with ACT and CBT when people want calmer attention and clearer moment-to-moment choices.Finding the right approach is a team process. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts methods over time and blends approaches so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for full sessions with visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets clients share between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on skill practice and progress.
