About Erin
Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and codependency among many other concerns. Erin offers services that acknowledge neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ identities and is experienced with kink and ethically nonmonogamous clients.
Erin earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and an Education Specialist degree from the University of Kentucky, and also holds a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the same school. She has completed additional credentials related to ADHD and autism clinical services and has past certifications in anxiety treatment and telemental health. Her background gives her practical experience with both clinical diagnoses and everyday problems in living.
Her approach is largely person-centered and non-directive, which means the client guides the topics in sessions. She identifies as an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provider and draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Psychoeducation and skills practice are commonly used to help people notice what patterns get in the way and try different responses.
In sessions Erin attends to attachment and communication patterns that often underlie codependent behavior. She helps people work on boundaries, people-pleasing, and rebuilding a sense of self after chronic caretaking. Practical tools, behavioural experiments, and reflection are mixed depending on each person’s goals.
Erin offers 45-minute sessions and schedules Monday through Friday with typical start times between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online dashboard.
How sessions work
How Erin blends common approaches in online sessions
Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings and choose actions based on their values. ACT is helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and getting unstuck from people-pleasing patterns.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current boundaries and intimacy. That approach can help people who keep losing themselves in relationships or who struggle to ask for what they need.
Client-Centered Therapy underpins her style so sessions remain guided by the client’s priorities and pace. This means the client shapes what is addressed while the therapist reflects, clarifies, and offers tools when appropriate.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and real-life demands. She explains options and checks in about what is and isn’t helpful as therapy progresses.
Her practice offers 45-minute online sessions. Please confirm the current session formats through the scheduling options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use strategies in their everyday environment while discussing what comes up.
