Remote therapy options and approaches
Erin offers remote sessions that use structured therapeutic tools alongside a collaborative relationship. She frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and to practice alternative ways of coping. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are incorporated when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities, with concrete strategies for managing intense feelings.
When trauma memories or distressing experiences are a focus, Erin includes EMDR techniques designed to process difficult memories within a paced, clinician-guided framework. Throughout remote work she invites clients to share feedback about which approaches feel most useful so sessions can be adjusted to fit individual needs and goals.
Remote sessions are available by video calls and phone sessions, and Erin can also connect through live chat or text-based messaging depending on the platform in use. These options are presented as ways to maintain continuity of care and to match the communication format that best supports each person’s participation in treatment.
