How Erin’s approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people understand patterns in how they give and receive care. It can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and blended family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s values and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead to build trust and practical goals. This style helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the blend of techniques as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps shape clear, realistic steps to try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people practice skills in real time and read verbal and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat are useful for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit therapy into busy days.
