Evidence-Informed Therapy, Designed for Online Support

Erin Smith draws from several established approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, helping people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new coping strategies for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in building psychological flexibility by learning to make room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps toward values-based goals, which many people find useful during life changes, grief, or ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each client to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose tools that fit the person, adjusting over time based on what is most helpful and workable in real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and access support from a comfortable, familiar environment.
