How narrative and values-based approaches work online
Erin often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and rewrite the stories that shape their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for long-standing patterns like low self-esteem, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and sensations. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and managing chronic illness. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence, aimed at understanding relationship patterns and improving how people relate to others after experiences of abandonment or insecure attachments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin treats that as a collaborative process where she and the client review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She will suggest methods and adjust plans as progress and needs evolve.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - give flexible options for different moments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter touchpoints. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily demands.
