How Erin Uses ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Erin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when emotions are difficult. ACT teaches practical exercises for noticing thoughts and staying focused on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and to practice different ways of responding. CBT gives clear skills for changing behaviors and testing new beliefs. Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of meetings, emphasizing careful listening and acceptance so people feel understood as they try new strategies.Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work together. Erin views this as a collaborative process: she will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan when something is not helpful. The aim is to build a plan that feels doable and relevant to everyday life.
