About Erin
Erin Weekes is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in South Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coaching, and ADHD. Erin emphasizes practical support and straightforward conversation for people struggling in social settings and everyday life.
She uses clear, collaborative methods rather than long lectures. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client, noticing unhelpful thoughts or behaviors, and trying out small changes that fit into daily life. Erin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered approaches to guide the process.
Erin encourages people to recognize their strengths and to build on what already works for them. She pays attention to patterns that cause stress, such as communication problems, control issues, or family of origin dynamics, and helps clients practice alternative responses. This can include handling anger, dealing with relationship strain, or managing compassion fatigue.
Her background includes many settings over a 12-year career where she supported people facing big life changes and caregiving pressures. She helps people with practical strategies for organization, boundary-setting, and improving self-esteem. The work is steady, with small steps and repeated practice.
People who are considering therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Erin provides sessions in English and works with adults in South Carolina.
How her approaches translate to online work
Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and take small actions that align with those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and for people who feel stuck when they worry about being judged. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors in everyday situations; it can help with social anxiety, stress, and mood changes.She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and lived experience. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist and client test what fits best and adjust over time based on needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are involved in deciding which techniques to keep using.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when people have limited time, and reduce travel. It can also let someone practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real-life examples to session conversations. Licensed professionals can discuss which format will work best when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
