How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Erin uses clinical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that fit messaging and phone conversations. ACT helps people name their values, notice hard thoughts, and take small steps toward what matters. This can be done through reflective prompts and action planning in messages or phone check-ins. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people change how they connect with others, using questions and exercises that can be shared in written or spoken form.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Erin will collaborate with each client to decide which approach and pace feel most useful. Together they’ll try different techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan as goals change.
Erin offers messaging and live messaging and occasional phone sessions, so practical benefits include easier scheduling and shorter check-ins when time is tight. Messaging can let someone reflect in writing between prompts, while phone check-ins can be helpful for problem-solving and emotional support when talking is preferred. Confirm exact session options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and needs.
