These methods guide the way sessions are structured and the kind of skills practiced between meetings.

The clinician uses a cancelable subscription model for sessions, and logistical details are handled during the onboarding process.
How Erin applies CBT, DBT, and person-centered methods online
Erin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into sessions by helping people spot unhelpful thoughts, test beliefs with small experiments, and build alternative habits that reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with concentration or attention.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills. DBT techniques are practical tools for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and crisis moments without making long-term changes all at once. Client-Centered work means Erin listens closely and follows the person’s lead when identifying goals and deciding which skills to practice.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust over time based on what is helpful. This is a joint process focused on concrete steps and measurable progress.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera when that feels unnecessary. Licensed professionals tailor timing and session structure to suit practical life constraints.
