About Erin
Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting challenges, as well as addiction and major life changes. Erin also helps with career concerns and self-esteem issues.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions typically focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding in everyday situations.
Erin guides people through short-term skill building and longer-term planning. She helps break down problems into manageable steps and practices tools together in session. When relationships and communication are involved, she works on clear, direct strategies for expressing needs and setting boundaries.
She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and blended family or divorce-related adjustment. Other areas include codependency, control and commitment issues, eating and food-related concerns, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Erin asks people to set specific goals and tracks progress each session. She uses straightforward exercises from CBT and ACT and checks what is working. The focus is on practical change and building skills that fit into daily life.
How Erin uses CBT, ACT and client-centered work online
Erin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that lead to stress and unhelpful behavior. CBT in practice means noticing automatic thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and trying alternative responses to see what changes.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on values-based goals and to accept uncomfortable feelings while moving toward meaningful action. Client-centered techniques mean sessions focus on the client's descriptions and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify goals.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is tracked and adjustments are needed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday break or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Erin uses practical exercises that transfer to daily routines so sessions support real-world changes.
