How evidence-based techniques can work in online therapy

Erin describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then testing small changes in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps with stress, social anxiety, and depression by giving practical steps to try between sessions.

Another frequently used approach focuses on emotion awareness and regulation. That work teaches ways to notice strong feelings, slow down in the moment, and choose responses that match long-term goals. It can be useful for anger, relationship struggles, and the ups and downs of caregiving or chronic illness.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences with therapy, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust techniques and pace until a workable plan emerges.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into weekdays, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick touchpoint helps maintain momentum. It also lets people join from different locations when schedules require flexibility.
