About Erin

Erin Wold is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois who uses structured, evidence-based methods to help people manage mood and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to create practical, skills-focused treatment plans for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and addictions. Erin emphasizes strengthening communication and exploring life purpose as part of an integrated approach to emotional wellness.

With seven years of clinical experience, Erin aims to make therapy collaborative and goal-oriented. Sessions focus on helping clients notice what matters most, reduce unhelpful patterns, and develop coping strategies that fit daily life.

She describes her work as grounded in respect and curiosity, offering a steady therapeutic presence while tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Erin’s practice supports individuals seeking clearer direction, improved coping, or relief from persistent symptoms.

She guides clients through practical exercises and compassionate inquiry to build insight, resilience, and more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.

Integrating ACT, CBT, and DBT for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward what matters, combining mindfulness with practical steps to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to relieve symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to improve coping in high-intensity situations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, adapting techniques from these models to create a personalized plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy with Erin offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life. These options support continuity of work between sessions and allow clients to practice skills in real-world settings while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
