About Erin
Erin Sperico is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to short- and longer-term therapy work. Erin aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about difficult or painful topics without feeling judged.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. That means she pays attention to emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck, while also helping them try practical steps that can change thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox for managing stress and anxiety. Erin has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, life transitions, and grief over losses or abandonment.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people identify small, doable changes. Sessions often include emotion-focused conversations, skill practice, and grounding or mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.
Erin welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a person’s life. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for people with busy or unpredictable days.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Practical Approaches Work Online
Erin blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral tools to help people better understand their feelings and change the behaviors that cause pain. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions, then gently shifting the patterns that keep people stuck; it can be useful for processing grief, trauma reactions, and relationship struggles. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting connection so people feel heard and accepted as they work through hard material. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps by breaking down unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Erin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new needs appear.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and emotion work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short updates, coping coaching between sessions, and flexible check-ins on busy days. These options help people keep therapy consistent amid work, caregiving, and other demands.
