Evidence-Based Care That Works Well Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on building psychological flexibility - learning how to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, or burnout keep pulling attention away from values and daily functioning.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns can shape trust, connection, and emotional needs in the present. This approach can support clients who want to strengthen relationships, work through conflict, or understand recurring relational dynamics.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental environment where the client sets the pace and priorities. It can be a good fit for people who want space to explore identity, self-esteem, life changes, or decisions with a therapist who listens closely and collaborates rather than directs.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin Murphy works collaboratively with clients to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and current challenges, adjusting along the way as needs evolve.
