Erin Uphoff

Erin Uphoff is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting worries, and anger. She brings eight years of practice experience and a focus on helping clients build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Erin frames therapy as a collaborative process and centers each person’s goals.

She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and that small strengths can lead to big changes. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set clear, manageable steps. This plain, goal-focused style is meant to make progress feel doable.

Erin often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new, healthier behaviors. She supplements that work with mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment calm. When someone needs quick, practical shifts she draws on solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.

Therapy conversations typically cover what feels most urgent now while also building tools for future stress. Topics she commonly addresses include body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity, mood concerns, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth, social anxiety, women’s issues, and workplace stress.

Sessions are offered in English and reflect Erin’s practical, supportive manner. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to available times.

How her approaches translate to online work

Erin commonly uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and helping each person set their own goals. This approach helps people name what matters most and direct sessions toward practical change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, anger, and work-related stress because it breaks problems into clear patterns and actionable steps.

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, then suggest strategies to try. Clients and therapist adjust the plan over time based on what works best.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use those advantages to keep momentum between sessions and apply skills to everyday life.
