About Erin
Erin Smith is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, and also holds an LPC credential. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and phobias.

She aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions emphasize listening, identifying strengths, and setting realistic goals.
Background and approach
Erin stays present during hard moments and celebrates progress alongside clients. Erin combines several practical approaches to guide work in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and action, and attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships shape emotion.
Skills from dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered habits appear as needed. Her background includes nine years of clinical experience across individual and group work. She has worked with people facing addictions, anger, domestic violence, mood concerns, and trauma and abuse.
That range informs a flexible style that shifts to fit each person's goals. Erin works with adults and adolescents and focuses on helping people strengthen coping skills, reduce distress, and take steps toward meaningful change. She encourages open communication about what techniques are most helpful and adjusts plans as progress unfolds.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, phobias, and compulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean blending ACT ideas with CBT skills and attachment-aware conversation so the plan fits the person's life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let people work face to face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions can be a simpler option when a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options help people access consistent care from licensed professionals while keeping therapy flexible and practical.
