About Erin
Erin Hawkinson, LPC, focuses on helping people who are juggling parenting concerns and everyday stress. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone. Her style centers on practical steps and clear goals so parents can try things between sessions.
Erin uses a client-centered way of working, which means she tailors sessions to each person's needs and pace. She combines that with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on small, doable changes that add up over time. She brings 18 years of experience in mental health and practices in Oklahoma. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and parenting-related struggles.
Erin also addresses issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. In sessions she may help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and set concrete goals. She draws on attachment-based ideas when relationships and connection are part of the concern.
The approach is collaborative - the person sets the priorities and Erin helps guide the process.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Erin often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and making consistent behavior changes that support parenting goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT offers concrete tools for managing worry, low mood, and patterns that affect daily routines and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as new challenges come up, and she adjusts techniques to fit what is working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and practicing responses. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or maintaining steady support between longer sessions.
