About Erin
Erin Lee is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, grief, family tensions, parenting stress, ADHD, and anger. She draws on practical therapies to help people reduce daily overwhelm and get clearer about what they want to change.
She holds a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a certification in mindfulness. Her work blends solution-focused techniques with elements of dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness practice. Erin emphasizes small, doable steps rather than large, abstract plans.
Sessions often include psychoeducation and straightforward strategies clients can try between meetings. For people needing quicker relief, she offers a summer fast-track option that recommends six sessions across three weeks with a focused goal. She also uses a LiveChat option for clients who find written conversation easier to manage.
Erin describes her approach as calm and practical. She helps people notice patterns that keep anger and frustration active, then practices skills to change reactions and build steadier habits. She encourages short, repeatable mindfulness and self-care practices that fit into busy days.
For those thinking about longer-term work, Erin is clear that the fast-track is a short-term plan and may not suit every goal. She supports clients in choosing a path that matches their needs, whether that means brief targeted work or exploring issues over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Erin uses acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy elements in her online practice. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take steps aligned with their values. Dialectical behavior therapy supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving day-to-day emotion regulation.She combines those methods with mindfulness training so clients can notice automatic reactions and practice small shifts. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - Erin will discuss goals and preferences and adjust techniques based on what feels most useful for the person she’s working with.
Her profile mentions a LiveChat option and a short-term fast-track series as part of how she delivers care. If those formats fit, LiveChat can make it easier to check in from a brief break or to use written reflection between sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are being offered. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy schedule without promising any specific outcome.
