Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anxiety and low self-esteem. One common approach focuses on learning specific skills to manage anxious reactions and panic symptoms, such as breathing and graded exposure to feared situations. Another approach emphasizes noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce worry and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with clients to identify which techniques match their goals and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress unfolds. The process is a joint effort to find what helps most in everyday life.
