Erin McClure, LPC

Approaches and online options for practical change

Erin uses person-centered methods that focus on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and wants a counselor who listens first and guides next.

She also draws on strength-based techniques which look for existing skills and resources to build on. That can be useful when clients want concrete ways to cope or to use what already works in their life. Solution-focused work narrows sessions toward small, achievable goals and short-term strategies that can bring quick relief or clearer direction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Erin collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The aim is to make therapy practical and tailored, not one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, coaching-style notes, or people who want to work through ideas between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep regular momentum toward stated goals.
