About Erin
Erin Lee is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in Illinois. She focuses on helping people who are managing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and family conflict. Her style is calm and compassionate and aimed at practical change.
Erin trained at the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning a Master of Social Work. She also holds an additional certification in mindfulness. She draws on those foundations when teaching new skills during sessions.
How Erin works
Her sessions blend solution-focused techniques with Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Mindfulness is woven into many sessions so people can practice noticing what matters and make small changes. She often uses short, teachable strategies that can be tried between meetings.
For people seeking quick relief, Erin offers a summer fast-track option: six sessions across three weeks focused on a specific goal. That format emphasizes psychoeducation and concrete tools to use right away. She notes that the fast track may not suit someone wanting long-term therapy.
Erin offers multiple ways to meet - including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She encourages people to choose the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters most. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to practical steps toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication; it can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and situation. She talks through options and adjusts the plan as people try techniques and report what helps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good when face-to-face conversation helps learning. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for shorter, focused exchanges and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep progress moving forward.
