About Erin
Erin Uphoff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Erin lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas and also supports issues such as panic attacks, mood concerns, and workplace stress.
Erin approaches sessions from a client-centered perspective, which means she listens to what matters most to the person in front of her and follows their lead. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques appear in her work to support short-term goal setting and present-moment awareness.
In a typical session she talks through current challenges and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems stuck. She offers simple strategies to try between sessions, such as small behavior changes or short mindfulness exercises. Erin emphasizes building on strengths the client already has rather than starting over.
Her background includes eight years in clinical settings working with individual clients on motivation, confidence, and parenting strain. She is based in Maryland and works in English. Erin uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location.

How Erin uses CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person says matters most. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities to set the pace and topics for sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers clear exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; it can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and build moment-to-moment awareness, which many people find helpful for stress and anxious moments.Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what is helpful. That collaborative process means approaches can change as needs and goals evolve.
