How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online sessions can use this lens to look at loyalty conflicts, stepfamily roles, and communication habits in new households. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting small experiments between meetings and checking progress together.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, or a mix of methods best fits the issue at hand and the practical steps the client wants to take.
Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It also makes it simple to practice communication skills between sessions and bring real-life scenarios into conversation without promising a particular format.
