About Erin
Erin Smith is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with nine years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She works with issues like anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Erin also focuses on problems such as jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, OCD and related obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and process addictions. Erin aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship first.
How Erin works
She believes a good connection makes progress more likely. Her style is warm, attentive, and practical. She listens closely and meets people where they are.
Therapy sessions combine several approaches to fit each person’s needs. Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take meaningful steps. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns are getting in the way of feeling safe and connected. She works collaboratively on treatment goals and checks in about what techniques feel helpful. Strengths are identified and put to practical use so coping skills grow over time.
Progress is measured in real-life changes rather than abstract labels. Erin is licensed as an LPCC and an LPC and provides services from Kentucky. Her sessions are offered in English and include formats like video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on therapist availability.

Online support options
Approach-driven online counseling that fits your life
Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. That approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, avoidance, and many life transitions. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead so goals reflect what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and to develop new, practical skills to change them. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Erin checks in about what is helping and what feels useful, and she adjusts techniques based on a person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so people have input on the pace and methods used. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing to speak or who want brief, moment-to-moment support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on real progress.Start online instead of waiting
