About Erin

Erin Smith is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Kentucky. She has nine years of clinical experience and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, depression, trauma, grief, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. Erin begins by building a strong working relationship.

She believes a good connection helps people talk openly and make steady progress. Her manner is supportive and compassionate, and she stays present whether someone is in crisis or making small steps forward.

Background and approach

Her sessions draw from practical, evidence-based strategies. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to manage strong emotions and improve coping when emotions feel overwhelming.

Erin also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based and client-centered principles guide how she responds in the room, focusing on trust, respect, and listening. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, appears among the approaches she uses when trauma and painful memories are present.

She often helps people identify strengths and practical coping skills they can use between sessions. Treatment is collaborative - goals and techniques are chosen together and adjusted as needed. For many, therapy with Erin is about finding steady, realistic ways to handle life’s stresses and regain a sense of control.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, concrete steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear strategies and homework to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when coping feels unstable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what the person finds helpful. Sessions are collaborative and meant to help people learn tools they can use between appointments.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats give flexible ways to keep continuity of care and practice new skills in everyday life.
