More about Erin
- 3 years' experience

- LMHC, LPC
Hello! My name is Erin.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania. I have over three years of post-graduate experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with various concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, sexuality concerns, drug/alcohol addiction, and with crisis issues. I also helped many people who have Intellectual Disabilities and their families. Lastly I have worked with clients who are on the Autism Spectrum.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, light, and motivated. I believe in treating every person with respect, compassion, and I always meet a person where they are at in order to work together towards goals. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, solution-focused, mindfulness, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, even when you know that you can help yourself most days. Together, we can find the empowerment that can be difficult to reach sometimes!
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’ve been seeing different therapists Off and on for 10years. Erin is the first one that I’ve felt honestly understood my feelings. Looking forward to many sessions with her.
Erin is very easy to talk with. I have had two sessions with her and feel that she is the right counselor for me at this time. Look forward to putting in the work and more helpful sessions with her.
Erin is a great counselor. Will always listen with the intention to understand and will try to give you tools to manage whatever issues you're dealing with.
Erin is great. She is very friendly and understanding and gave me some good tips to deal with what I was going through. I recommend her. Thanks Erin!
Erin is an attentive and compassionate listener and has solid, practical advice.
Erin is extremely courteous, friendly and easy to talk to. She doesn’t put a lot of pressure and has helped me a lot with my anxiety as well as helping my relationship with my husband.
Erin is excellent and always there to lend an "ear" :) This is my first counseling experience and I couldn't recommend it more! It's been really helpful to just be able to talk to someone about what's going on in my life and in my head and how to manage it all. Erin is the best!
Absolutely excellent.
