Online Approaches and What They Offer
Erin frequently integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy into her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching concrete tools to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-focused awareness and acceptance skills to help manage intense emotions and trauma-related responses while building tolerance for difficult experiences.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. She will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then tailor methods from client-centered, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing practices as appropriate to create an individualized plan.
The online format supports flexible, accessible care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy around work, family, and daily responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care across locations in Illinois. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to deliver goal-oriented sessions and ongoing skill coaching that fit into a client’s life.
