About Erin
Erin Sperico is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and ADHD. Sessions are held in English.
Erin uses practical, evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try different ways of responding. She also uses Client-Centered techniques and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship and intimacy-related issues. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of her approach for building skills and sustaining changes.
Her work often focuses on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and navigating life purpose. She also helps people cope with betrayal, guilt, shame, and the emotional aftermath of traumatic events. First responder issues and post-traumatic stress are included among areas she supports.
Erin favors short, focused steps in sessions. She helps people notice thoughts, test assumptions, and practice new behaviors between meetings. Sessions may include mindfulness exercises, role practice, and goal-setting.

How Erin blends approaches for online work
Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood. CBT focuses on concrete steps - noticing automatic thoughts, testing evidence, and practicing alternative responses - which fits well with short focused sessions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and build a collaborative working relationship. This approach centers the person's goals and preferences and helps guide what to practice between meetings. Finally, Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship or intimacy issues are central, helping people recognize and respond to emotional patterns that affect connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints and then recommend which methods to emphasize. That decision is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.

These practical benefits help people try structured CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and goal-focused homework between sessions without committing extra time for commuting.
