About Erin
Erin Spensley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger, and other life changes. Erin also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and concerns related to identity and intimacy.
Her sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. She uses a mix of practical therapy methods to help people identify patterns, adjust reactions, and build everyday coping skills. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and concrete steps to change it.
Erin often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present behavior. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work grounded in each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used for emotion regulation and behavioral change.
She has particular experience working with LGBTQ+ concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Other areas she addresses include body image, commitment and control issues, communication problems, and sexual expression including BDSM and kink topics.
Sessions tend to be practical and focused on skills. Erin encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to measure progress. People who want direct, skills-based work on anger and relationship interactions often seek her approach.
How sessions work
How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Erin commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and close relationships shape current reactions. This helps when anger or mistrust shows up in relationships and daily interactions.She applies Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and perspective. That approach emphasizes listening and adjusting the pace of work to what the client wants to address.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These tools are practical for stress, anxiety, anger, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin works collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals, challenges, and preferences. She checks in and refines the plan as the work moves forward.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins when a shorter meeting is needed. These practical benefits help people sustain steady work on anger, relationships, and emotional regulation.
