Erin Chu is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider practicing in Illinois. She brings seven years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on creating a safe, relaxed environment where people can share at their own pace.
Erin views counseling through a multidimensional lens, examining how emotional, cognitive, social, physical, and medical aspects of wellness influence a person’s experience. She works primarily with individuals aged 17 and older and has experience addressing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and abuse, body image concerns, grief, toxic relationships, people-pleasing, and perfectionism.
With a background in geriatric care, Erin is also adept at supporting the emotional challenges that often accompany chronic pain and illness. Her approach is eclectic and tailored to each client, often integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC).
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
Licensed professionals provide the care, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical and accessible way to work on common mental health and life concerns with trained therapists.
