About Erin
Erin Ellis is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Erin aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through what matters to them and try practical ways to feel better.
She uses straightforward conversation and tailors each session to the person in front of her. Erin draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools for coping skills when emotions feel overwhelming.
Erin has worked with trauma, crisis intervention, and issues related to self-harm, panic, and grief. She pays attention to identity-related concerns, including LGBT and women's issues, and she supports people exploring self-love and codependency. She has experience with adolescents and teenagers as well.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and small steps clients can use between meetings. Erin describes coming to therapy as a courageous choice and aims to support that change with steady, compassionate care.
People in New York who want a therapist who listens, adapts, and offers concrete tools may find her style helpful. Prospective clients should follow the site's booking process to match with her and confirm current session options before scheduling.
How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely and lets the conversation guide the focus, which helps when someone needs validation, clarity, or a space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. That can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and codependency concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin will work with each person to decide which tools to try first and will adjust those methods as goals and needs change. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and progress is checked regularly so sessions stay relevant and helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, or options that avoid being on camera if that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions and track progress over time.
