Background and approach
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix helps people understand emotional patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and try different ways of relating. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness methods when those fit a person’s needs.
Erin tailors sessions to each person’s situation and goals. She helps people explore family of origin issues, codependency, abandonment worries, and difficulties with communication. Work may include coping plans for postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, or smoking and vaping cessation.

Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work online
Erin commonly blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based ideas to help people notice and name their feelings and how those feelings shape close connections. EFT focuses on the emotions driving reactions and helps people rewrite old patterns so relationships and self-understanding can improve. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current worries like abandonment or communication problems.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing impulsivity by breaking down problems into manageable steps. Together these approaches are chosen collaboratively so the plan matches a person’s goals and comfort level rather than being prescriptive.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper emotional work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text is useful for brief support and ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
