About Erin
Erin Ellis is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and focused on practical strategies people can use between meetings.
Erin uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s causing distress and where small changes could help. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for a person’s perspective and to guide collaborative decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are taught when intense emotions or overwhelm interfere with daily life.
Her background includes crisis work and helping people cope with addictions and intellectual disability needs. Erin has also worked with adolescents and teenagers, which informs how she talks about development and stress across ages. She tends to focus on practical coping tools rather than lengthy theory talks.
In a first session she will listen to current problems, ask about past steps that have helped, and outline a simple plan for the next few sessions. Progress is measured by clearer goals, fewer reactive moments, and more reliable tools for handling anger and stress.
People who come for help with relationship strain or anger can expect concrete skill practice, short experiments to test new habits, and regular check-ins on what’s working.
How sessions work
How Erin’s approaches translate to online sessions
Erin draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s lead and prioritize their concerns. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters, and helping people decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce stress and anger.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Erin will discuss goals and preferences with each person and then suggest which methods to try first. If a strategy doesn’t fit, she will adjust the plan in partnership with the client rather than sticking to one set method.
The practical upside of online work is making sessions fit into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online meetings can help people keep appointments during busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so skills practice happens sooner. Therapists and licensed professionals generally use similar approaches online as in person, focusing on skill building, coping tools, and stepwise progress rather than quick solutions.
