More about Erin

- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor supervisor in the state of Texas. I have experience working with adolescents on probation and their families, couples, families with trauma and conflict, individuals seeking Christian Based Counseling, individuals seeking support from the LGTB+ community, individuals with Eating Disorders and complications with Disordered Eating, and individuals with substance abuse and addiction. I am originally from Bossier City, Louisiana and came to Dallas, Texas in 2003 to attend graduate school at Dallas Theological Seminary. It is there that I received my Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling. I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2008. Along with the above, I have had experiences with inpatient mental health hospitals, mobile psychological evaluations, intensive inpatient and outpatient assessments, marriage & family therapy, in-home counseling, and residential treatment centers. My counseling goal for my clients is to to help provide the skills needed to cope with life's struggles and for them to achieve mental and physical wellness. In my down time, I enjoy relaxing with my husband, sweet daughter, and 3 dogs Chewie, Meiko, and Brooklyn.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
