How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy is about the conversation being led by the person seeking help. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs emotional space to sort through family or parenting stress.Motivational Interviewing focuses on increasing willingness to change. It uses gentle questions to uncover values and next steps, which can help with motivation, career shifts, or breaking unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite limiting narratives into more helpful ones.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That shared planning helps make sessions feel relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to maintain consistent contact and move forward at a workable pace.
