About Erin
Dr. Erin Sullivan helps people who are dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, self-esteem problems, and depression. She is a Connecticut psychologist with 13 years of experience and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions.
She focuses a lot on organization, emotional self-regulation, and procrastination. That means she helps parents and young people build routines, manage strong feelings, and take small steps toward goals. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with tools and feedback families can use between meetings.
How Erin works
Her style is collaborative. She listens carefully and works together with each person to set clear, achievable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and client-centered techniques keep the person's concerns and priorities front and center.
Dr. Sullivan has worked in mental health for over a decade. Her background includes helping people with Autism and Asperger Syndrome, impulsivity, intellectual disability, social anxiety and phobia, and issues common to young adults.
She uses evidence-based strategies adapted to each person's strengths and needs. Many sessions include concrete problem solving, practice of new skills, and regular check-ins on progress. The focus is practical change rather than long lectures.
The goal is that people leave feeling more capable and with a plan they can follow between sessions.

How her methods work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks about priorities, and helps each person pick goals that feel right for them. It is useful when someone needs understanding and space to sort out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Sessions include trying small experiments, practicing new skills, and tracking changes over time. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, procrastination, and problems with organization.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the client's life and keeps progress measurable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, planning, or coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try methods that suit different situations.
