About Erin
Erin Beskid is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience who helps people find practical ways to feel better. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, addiction concerns, codependency, and life transitions. Her tone is direct but warm, and she aims to be nonjudgmental while offering clear skills and tools.
Erin began working through sport and activity settings, studying how thought and behavior affect performance and wellbeing. That background led her to combine coaching techniques with counseling. She has experience with performance coaching, working with people recovering from injury, crisis work, weight-loss coaching, and supporting people in LGBTQ+ communities.
Her sessions use skills drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment strategies, and motivational interviewing. She emphasizes building coping skills, improving communication, and boosting self-directed action. Erin is practical in session and will be direct when it helps move things forward.
She also pays attention to physiological stress factors and has used biofeedback approaches alongside talk work. Erin aims to capitalize on a person's strengths and tailors methods to each situation rather than using a single fixed method.
People who want focused, skill-based work and clear steps to manage anxiety, impulsivity, or relationship and life-purpose concerns may find her approach helpful. She practices in Maryland and offers services in English.
Approach-driven online therapy and practical skills
Erin uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and build everyday coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety or low mood and then practicing new ways of responding. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus and calm.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy which helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. These approaches are suited to stress, anxiety, codependency issues, and life transitions, and they often work well together in short, skills-based work. Erin will collaborate with clients to find the best mix of methods based on their goals and preferences rather than assuming one approach fits everyone.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, like scheduling a short check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow quieter, camera-free options when people prefer less visual focus or lower bandwidth. A therapist will discuss which arrangement suits scheduling, attention needs, and the type of skills work you want to pursue.
