About Erin
Erin Beskid is an LCPC licensed in Montana and Maryland with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also works with topics like attachment, autism and Asperger Syndrome, codependency, communication problems, and sexual subcultures such as BDSM and kink.
Erin approaches therapy in a practical, skills-based way. She uses coping skills and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing when those methods fit a person's goals.
Her background includes performance coaching, work with people recovering from injury, crisis response, and teaching at high school through graduate levels. She has experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and has used biofeedback and physiological techniques to address stress and anxiety. Those experiences inform her focus on strengths and on combining practical strategies with an understanding of how behavior and body interact.
Sessions tend to emphasize concrete skills - breathing and grounding exercises, thought records, behavioral experiments, and communication practice. She describes her style as open, nonjudgmental, patient, and direct when needed. Clients can expect a mix of hands-on practice and discussion about what changes are actually helpful in daily life.
Erin invites people who are ready to try structured tools to manage symptoms and improve functioning. She encourages people to select a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if her approach fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through small experiments and practice. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be taught and practiced during sessions.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what actually helps. That means trying specific skills in real life and checking back to see what changed and what didn’t.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice breathing, grounding, thought records, and communication exercises in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and skills practice to match each person’s daily routine, and Erin uses structured exercises so sessions stay focused and practical.
