About Erin
Erin Eiland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed in California with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting concerns, and related issues such as ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Erin also lists support for LGBT concerns, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes.
She favors a client-centered approach that focuses on the person's strengths and goals. Sessions often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Erin also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and she may bring in art activities when that helps someone express difficult feelings.
Her background includes work with children, teens, and families involved in foster care and adoption, providing individual therapy, family therapy, and crisis support in homes and schools. That experience informs how she supports people managing disrupted attachments, abandonment concerns, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
In sessions Erin aims to keep things practical and focused. She helps people try small changes, practice skills, and track what works. Conversations can include role plays, coping skills, and brief behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance and test out social situations.
People who prefer a structured method may find CBT techniques helpful. Those wanting to understand relationship patterns often use attachment-based work. She adapts methods to a person's goals and preferences rather than following a single fixed plan.
How Erin’s approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that come from early relationships. It helps when recurring trust or closeness problems affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps with anxiety, avoidance, and testing new ways of responding in social situations.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients often mix approaches - for example using CBT skills alongside attachment-focused conversations - to address both practical problems and underlying relationship patterns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into daily life because it reduces travel time, makes scheduling during a work break easier, or lets someone choose shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it straightforward to practice skills between meetings and to bring real situations from home or school into discussion for immediate problem-solving.
