Approaches that guide online sessions
Erin uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday habits that cause stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then she tailors sessions so methods match each person’s needs, adjusting between coaching-style check-ins and deeper therapy when useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face to face; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily needs.
