About Erin
Erin Plachko is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports individuals dealing with divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
Her approach aims to be warm and practical so people can talk about what matters most to them. Erin brings seven years of clinical experience that began in community mental health in the Denver area.
How Erin works
She has worked with adults who experienced severe and persistent mental illness and with family concerns earlier in her career. That background shaped her interest in straightforward, skills-based work that still respects each persons spiritual and emotional path. Her style blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing into an individualized plan.
Sessions typically focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and steps people can try between meetings. She also welcomes those who want a Christian-informed perspective as part of their care. Erin aims to create a steady, supportive setting for people to process painful feelings and practice new ways of reacting.
She emphasizes empathy, practical tools, and helping people reconnect with their strengths and values. Outside of work she enjoys cycling, gardening, reading, travel, and time with family and her church community. People who choose Erin often want a therapist who balances evidence-based methods with attention to personal beliefs and everyday life needs.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Erin uses several evidence-based techniques to help people make practical changes. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Solution-focused techniques zero in on small, achievable goals and the steps that move a person toward those goals, which is useful for relationship problems and life transitions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and beliefs, and adapts the plan as progress is made. Together they check what helps and adjust steps to stay focused on meaningful change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or have more frequent brief contact between full sessions, which can help therapy fit into busy days.
