About Erin

Erin Smith is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She works with adults and adolescents and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Her tone is supportive and compassionate, and she aims to build a strong connection first so clients feel heard. Erin centers the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

Background and approach

She listens closely and meets people where they are. Together they set clear, realistic goals and pick strategies that fit the person’s life and values. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive and behavioral strategies.

That means she pays attention to relationship patterns while also teaching skills to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Clients learn coping tools for anxiety, mood shifts, and cravings. Erin uses skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered work.

She focuses on identifying strengths and building practical coping plans. Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and tracking progress between meetings. She has nine years of clinical experience and has supported people struggling with anger, parenting stress, obsessive behaviors, phobias, bipolar mood patterns, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is collaborative: she invites feedback about what helps and adjusts the plan as needed. People who choose her can expect steady support during hard moments and help noticing progress. Erin encourages open communication so treatment stays focused on the outcomes each person wants.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and feel safe. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in real time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, and to take actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes and can be practiced in short exercises between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, listening, and following the person’s lead. This approach helps people feel heard and make decisions at their own pace. In an online setting, the therapist uses reflective listening and open questions to keep collaboration strong.

The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Finding the right mix is a shared process - the therapist offers options, observes what helps, and adjusts plans together with the client.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, practice skills, and check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
