About Erin

Dr. Erin Armour is a Tennessee psychologist (TN Psychologist 3140) with 11 years of practice. She sees adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, relationship strain, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and help with coping through life changes.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods rather than vague technique talk. The aim is steady progress through realistic steps and regular review.

Dr. Armour draws from a mix of therapies to match the situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps when thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people who want to live by their values even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based work is used when relationship patterns and early connections affect current trust and closeness.

She also works in a client-centered way, which means sessions are guided by the person's goals and pace. Existential ideas are used when people need to think about meaning, choices, and responsibility in stressful life phases. These approaches get used together rather than as separate boxes.

Dr. Armour helps people build concrete skills for managing anger, communication, sleep, and stress. She offers coaching-style support for practical changes as well as talk therapy for deeper issues. To begin, she asks about goals and recent history, then agrees on measurable steps and timelines.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building actions that align with those values, even when strong emotions like anger are present. It helps with stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance keeps problems going.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thinking and behavior patterns that keep difficulties active. In sessions, the therapist and client identify unhelpful thoughts, test them against evidence, and practice alternative behaviors that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and trust. It is useful when anger shows up around closeness, communication breakdowns, or fear of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Armour will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She reviews progress and adjusts methods so the plan stays relevant.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while working on anger, relationships, sleep, and stress.
