She often mixes mindfulness practices and acceptance techniques to reduce intense feelings and improve coping between sessions. Erin has worked with a range of issues including addictions, self-esteem, career concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, illness-related stress, and coping after loss.
She also supports people dealing with autism spectrum concerns, avoidant or dependent personality dynamics, and eating or control issues. Erin provides services in English and accepts international clients. She is based in Texas and holds the LCSW credential.

Online session options
Therapy approaches you can use online
Erin often uses Narrative Therapy to help people step back from a problem and see their life story in a new way. That approach can help with relationship patterns, identity questions, and persistent negative narratives that make change feel impossible. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another common approach she uses; it focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action toward what matters most to the person.She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person’s own goals and experience. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs, try different tools, and adjust the plan together based on what helps you make progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a brief real-time check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep work moving toward practical change.
