About Erin
Erin Arthur is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience helping people facing addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and relationship stress. She works with adults and adolescents who are trying to manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, anger, or the effects of abuse. Many seek help for codependency, family-of-origin issues, or difficulty coping with life changes.
Her style is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then tailors conversations and a plan to each person’s situation. Sessions aim to identify the core problems behind current symptoms and build steps toward improvement. Erin uses techniques that fit the person rather than forcing a single method.
Erin draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. She also uses solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing when change goals are needed. These tools are used to increase coping skills, manage mood, and reduce harmful patterns such as substance use or self-sabotage.
Clients can expect straightforward talk and goal-oriented work. Erin emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room. She helps people set clear goals and practices to reach them.
Erin’s background includes long experience in counseling and case management in Missouri. Over 31 years she has supported people facing chronic pain, dissociation, trauma, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS concerns, and multicultural stressors. She encourages people to try a first session and see if the approach fits their needs.
How Erin Uses Common Approaches Online
Erin often draws on client-centered therapy, which centers conversations on the person’s own concerns and goals. That approach helps people feel heard and guides the work by their priorities rather than a fixed agenda.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop concrete skills for mood and anxiety management. CBT is useful for depression, bipolar mood stabilization work, and anxiety reduction.
Mindfulness therapy is another tool she uses to help people notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. Mindfulness practices can reduce rumination, ease stress, and support emotion regulation during difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Erin works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as work progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over remote meetings, and Erin will help adapt exercises and homework so they work in your day-to-day life.
