About Erin
Erin Hawkinson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She writes up straightforward goals with clients and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Erin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with 18 years in the mental health field and works from Oklahoma.
She uses a client-centered style that adapts to each person's pace and concerns. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on making therapy fit real life.
How Erin works
Erin draws on several approaches to help people build coping skills, manage mood, and improve relationships. Her work includes support for trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and issues related to substance use. She also helps with attention differences, bipolar concerns, and career or identity challenges.
Practical skills, calm pacing, and attention to attachment patterns are common threads in her work. Erin also offers hypnotherapy for people who want a mindful, relaxation-based way to change habits or reduce anxiety. Sessions that use guided relaxation focus on easing tension and rehearsing healthier responses to stressors.
This is optional and blended with other approaches when it fits client goals. Clients can expect clear, direct conversation about goals and step-by-step strategies they can try between visits. Erin aims to create a steady, manageable path forward so people can feel more in control of their choices and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Erin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick values-driven actions to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people build safer ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around each person's priorities and pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she may blend techniques as progress and priorities change. The process is collaborative and aimed at clear, usable steps that match real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
