How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice hard thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on building willingness to feel difficult emotions while moving toward what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and help people change ways of relating that cause pain or distance. This approach can be useful for intimacy concerns, communication problems, and family of origin issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will work with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts tools over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or a focus on skills practice between meetings. Talk with Erin about how sessions can match your schedule and needs so therapy fits into your life.
