How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Somatic work focuses on how the body holds tension and stress. Sessions may include gentle attention to breath, posture, or physical sensations to help people notice and shift where they feel stuck. This approach can be useful for anxiety, chronic pain, and feeling disconnected from the body.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It pairs acceptance of difficult thoughts with practical steps, which can reduce avoidance and build more meaningful routines.
Attachment-based methods look at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions, the therapist helps people name those patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others to reduce loneliness and improve communication.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life.
