How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Erin draws from attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions to others. That approach helps with patterns like fear of rejection or difficulty trusting close people. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday situations, which can reduce avoidance and build confidence in social settings.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Erin works together with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals and what feels doable. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
