About Erin

Erin Arney is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience in clinical and community settings. She practices from Kentucky and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, family problems, and life transitions. Her listing also notes work around codependency, attachment issues, and chronic illness concerns.

Erin uses a mix of practical talk and activity-focused work. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance-based ideas to help people notice painful feelings without getting stuck. Sessions are conversational and aim to build small, usable skills for day-to-day life.

She also pays attention to relational patterns rooted in attachment. That means looking at how past and current relationships shape what a person expects and how they respond. For people who find themselves putting others first, that lens can make patterns clearer and more manageable.

When emotions run very high, she may use strategies influenced by dialectical behavior ideas to help regulate intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Client-centered principles guide the work too, so people’s goals and values shape the plan rather than a rigid script.

Erin wants to make therapy practical. Early sessions focus on understanding what you want to change and testing small steps to get there. The focus is on skills you can use between meetings and on reflecting how relationships affect daily choices.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT work usually involves tracking patterns, short exercises, and real-life experiments to test small behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. In an online setting this can mean mapping relationship patterns, identifying triggers, and practicing new ways of relating in everyday interactions.

Erin treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will help you pick or blend methods based on your goals, how you respond to different tools, and what feels workable in your life. That means trying something, checking how it landed, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to a single method up front.

The original biography mentioned messaging, live video, and phone sessions, but confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to travel. They also let people practice techniques in the settings where difficulties actually occur. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online format so skills are usable between meetings.
