Online support options
How Erin’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people try small, practical changes to reduce stress and anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic events in a paced way and building tools to manage triggers and distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to use. She adapts techniques to each person so the plan fits daily life and current challenges.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can help people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care through life transitions.
