Online session options
How narrative and skills-based approaches translate online
Erin often blends Narrative Therapy and client-centered work to help people make sense of their life stories, and she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating the person from the problem and rewriting parts of a story that feel stuck, which can help with identity questions, grief, and relationship patterns. Client-centered work prioritizes empathy and collaboration so the person sets the pace and priorities for each session.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to identify and test unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and measure small changes over time. These techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing emotional reactions. Erin treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to find what fits their goals and comfort level.
Online therapy makes it easier to keep continuity between sessions. Video calls allow a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or ongoing noting of thoughts and homework. These formats give flexibility for therapy to fit into busy days and different life circumstances.
