About Erin

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenging life changes. She offers straightforward, practical support for issues like relationships, parenting, career strain, and coping with losses. Her tone is encouraging and down-to-earth, and she focuses on small steps that build over time.

With seven years of clinical experience, Erin uses methods that match each person's needs. She leans on cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and on client-centered methods that keep the conversation grounded in the person's priorities. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are also part of her toolkit to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping.

Erin often combines practical skills with reflective work. That can mean learning concrete ways to manage stress, practicing new communication habits, and naming values that guide decisions. She also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves and their lives.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them set realistic goals. Sessions aim to be positive, honest, and focused on what the person wants to change.

Erin works from Texas and conducts therapy in English. She accepts international clients, and she invites prospective clients to take the first step by completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session when ready.

How Erin uses therapy approaches online

Erin commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings appear; it can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Erin will talk with each person about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. She welcomes questions and aims to find methods that match the client's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to practice skills in day-to-day settings and to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
