About Erin
Erin Taylor is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with 20 years of experience. She has worked in crisis intervention and outpatient settings and helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, and addictions.
Taylor draws on years of work across settings including shelters, emergency rooms, and outpatient clinics. She has provided services related to domestic violence, sexual assault trauma, and substance use in earlier roles. Her background includes collaboration with schools, child welfare, hospitals, and law enforcement during crisis work.
Her approach is practical and focused on skills people can use between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it fits the concern, along with client-centered methods and mindfulness practices. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear when the goal is behavior change or clear problem-solving.
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different responses. Taylor emphasizes direct conversation, goal-setting, and short-term strategies alongside work on deeper issues when needed. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of how she communicates.
She works with adults on a wide range of life challenges such as parenting stress, relationship conflict, abandonment and foster care issues, grief, and mood concerns. Erin explains options, helps set concrete goals, and checks progress so people can see what is changing and what still needs work.
Using CBT, client-centered work and mindfulness for online sessions
Erin often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT focuses on clear exercises and homework that target thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses client-centered methods that rely on listening and reflection to clarify goals and motivations. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of present-moment experience and to reduce reactivity to strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try strategies that fit. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused planning.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or use a brief check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote use so people can practice skills between sessions.
