About Erin
Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, addictions, parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, career shifts, and codependency concerns. She also supports people coping with aging, caregiver stress, autism spectrum issues, blended family challenges, and major life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Erin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps patterns going and trying small, concrete changes. She helps people notice thoughts and behaviors, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of responding.
Erin encourages people to name what they want to be different and to take step-by-step actions toward those goals. She often uses mindfulness exercises and values-based choices from ACT alongside targeted skills from CBT. Conversations can include examining personal stories and values to reshape how someone makes decisions and relates to others.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble setting boundaries, or living around another person's crises will find practical tools here. Erin mixes short-term problem work with longer change strategies when needed. The work is collaborative and focused on daily life problems and realistic steps forward.
To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Erin offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; policies on formats and scheduling should be confirmed before booking.
How sessions work
How Erin uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It often focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing values-based steps, which can help with people-pleasing and codependency patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test beliefs and try new responses to anxiety, depression, or relationship triggers.
Client-centered work centers the person’s experience and priorities. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping someone name goals they actually want to pursue rather than imposing outside goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit current goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift as needs change over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, using audio when video isn’t convenient, or joining from a different location when travel is difficult. These practical options help therapy connect with daily routines without forcing a major schedule change.
