Online session options
How approaches meet you online
Erin blends Narrative ideas with cognitive-behavioral work to help clients change the stories that shape daily life. Narrative work looks at the themes and roles people live out and opens space for new, more helpful stories. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on small behavior and thought changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to support values-driven action when feelings are intense. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match what matters most to them. Picking an approach is a shared decision; the therapist will work together with the client to try methods and adjust based on what fits their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy schedules. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat work well for ongoing tracking, quick skill practice, and touching base between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and keep working toward goals from wherever the client is located.
