Online support options
How Erin’s approaches fit online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work can help people notice attachment patterns and practice different ways of relating in real time. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the person's pace to build insight and self-acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual from the start.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face when talking through relationships or practicing new skills is important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and ongoing coaching-style support possible between longer sessions, which helps maintain momentum and practice new tools in everyday life.
