Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Erin describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people handle symptoms and rebuild everyday routines. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with concrete, manageable alternatives to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another common element is trauma-informed support that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe while also teaching coping strategies for triggers and distress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Erin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods are most useful. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the work fits what actually helps you make progress.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions easy to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when more nuance is helpful. Phone sessions can be shorter or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use written communication when that feels easier. These options make it possible to continue steady work even with a changing schedule.
