How Erin's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people clarify their goals and guides the pace of work so the plan fits the person's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test worries and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive responses. These skills are useful for distress tolerance, regulating mood, and improving relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that match those needs. Plans are adjusted over time if something is not working.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy days, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools like worksheet exercises and in-between-session practice to apply skills to daily life.
