About Erin

Erin Riley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. She also supports those coping with parenting strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Erin talks plainly and meets people where they are to figure out practical next steps.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches. Sessions are conversational and focused on identifying patterns that keep problems stuck.

Background and approach

Erin mixes mindfulness and motivational interviewing when it fits a person’s goals. Erin’s style is warm, interactive, and down-to-earth. She aims to make sessions feel like a collaborative space where clients can name what matters and try small changes.

She respects each person’s pace and priorities while working toward clear, reachable goals. Her background includes over three years of post-graduate experience in mental health settings. That work included supporting people with intellectual disability and people on the autism spectrum, as well as those navigating crisis and substance use concerns.

Her clinical practice brings those experiences into practical problem-solving. When starting, Erin helps clients set realistic steps and tracks progress along the way. She adapts tools and homework to fit everyday life so changes are easier to keep up.

The focus is on steady, concrete progress rather than quick fixes.

How Erin’s Approaches Work Online

Erin commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful emotional patterns in relationships and personal life. EFT focuses on understanding feelings and forming new ways to respond that reduce distress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which centers the conversation on the person’s needs and values, helping clients lead the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she uses to spot thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and to practice alternative actions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Erin will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Together they decide which tools to use and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or mobility is a factor. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other routines.
