About Erin
Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a practical, person-centered style to sessions. Erin focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, relationship struggles, and issues around identity and intimacy.
She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. Erin leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral ideas, attachment-informed thinking, and client-centered listening. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and strengths rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How Erin works
Her background includes advanced degrees in counseling psychology and philosophy from the University of Kentucky. Over the past decade she has developed clinical skills working with a wide range of concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, and chronic illness. She also supports people facing workplace stress, career decisions, and life transitions.
Erin aims to make therapy practical and understandable. She mixes teaching new skills, normalizing difficult experiences, and trying small, concrete changes between sessions. The pace and focus are set by the person in therapy, with guidance offered when requested.
Sessions are available by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Scheduling is done through the platform’s Start Therapy process and follows the therapist’s weekday hours.

Online support options
Using ACT and CBT Online to Meet Real-Life Challenges
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It helps people who are stuck in avoidance or who want more meaningful direction in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts exercises and explanations to match how someone thinks and what feels useful, so the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while using the specific approaches described above.
