About Erin
Erin Ellis is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and related concerns such as codependency and panic. Sessions are conducted in English and based in New York.
Erin focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck - people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling drained by others' ups and downs. In session she helps people notice those patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral skills, and dialectical behavior techniques. That means conversations revolve around what the person wants to change, learning new ways to manage strong feelings, and practicing skills between sessions. Erin uses plain language and concrete strategies rather than jargon.
Erin has worked in settings that involved crisis support and substance concerns, and she has experience supporting people with grief, eating matters, self-harm thoughts, bipolar mood patterns, and compassion fatigue. She also lists a focus on women's issues and self-love alongside ADHD-related coping.
People who choose Erin can expect straightforward planning, agreed goals, and skill practice. To begin, someone completes a short questionnaire and schedules an initial session. That first meeting is used to set priorities and decide what practical steps to try next.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on the person's priorities and perspectives. Online sessions use the same listening-first stance and help clarify what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes. Online CBT sessions can include homework, skill practice, and step-by-step plans to manage anxiety, panic, or codependent patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These DBT-informed skills can be taught in short, practiceable steps during remote sessions and reviewed the next meeting. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative; the therapist and client will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will help plan sessions so skills practice and life commitments can coexist without promising a particular format.
