Hi and welcome to Better Help! My name is Erin Wirth and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York with over ten years of experience in the mental health field and five years as a therapist. I enjoy working with adults, teens and children and my specialties include working with those individuals with developmental disabilities, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stressors, life transitions, eating disorders and addiction.
It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship can only truly flourish when rooted in unconditional positive regard and acceptance. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a safe space for clients to relearn the concept of vulnerability as a strength and that true intimacy, acceptance and connection can only come from a place where we allow ourselves to be seen as fully and imperfectly human. I am a firm believer in utilizing therapy as a source of empowerment and strength, and encourage clients to not allow their problems and/or diagnoses to define them. I believe that we are meant to experience the full spectrum of human emotions (not just the shiny, happy ones!) and when we allow ourselves to accept and hold space for these so-called "negative" emotions, it takes away their power. We can choose to view pain as a source of suffering or as a transformative experience. Utilizing the various therapeutic modalities of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Dialectical-Behavioral therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered therapy in conjunction with mindfulness-based practices such as radical self-acceptance, non-judgment and gratitude, I believe that we're able to move past those emotions that keep us "stuck." I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your journey towards growth and self-acceptance.
I am available for chat, email, and phone/video sessions.

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.
