About Erin
Erin Haentjens is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. She takes an attachment-informed, body-aware approach to therapy that aims to help people rebuild trust in themselves and their relationships.

She has eight years of clinical experience in community and clinical settings. That work covered schools, group homes, foster care, and programs for at-risk youth as well as adult individual therapy. Erin has worked with athletes and people recovering from physical injury, helping them reconnect with their bodies and rebuild resilience.

Online support
Attachment, skills, and online access
Erin typically combines Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered care and DBT-informed skills work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connection styles shape current reactions; it can help with relationship worries, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, giving space for people to guide the pace and focus of sessions. DBT offers concrete techniques for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will talk with each person about their goals, daily challenges, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from any location, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth or while multitasking, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to attend.
