How Erin’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that affect how people feel safe and connected, useful for addressing family of origin themes and difficulty trusting others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest a path that can be adjusted over time. This is a collaborative process where the client’s feedback helps shape sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. They also let people try skills in real-life settings between meetings and bring concrete situations into the conversation for problem solving.
