About Erin

Erin Brahms is a licensed mental health counselor based in Massachusetts who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and a range of addictions including drug, alcohol, and process-related issues.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD among other concerns. Drawing on client-centered principles, Erin emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and build practical coping skills.

Her background includes extensive work in school settings supporting adolescents and their families, and she applies evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions. She aims to collaborate with each person to identify goals and small, sustainable steps toward change.

Erin holds an MA and practices as an LMHC (MA LMHC LMHC8508). She offers sessions through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and lifestyles, and uses a subscription model for ongoing access that can be canceled at any time.

Approach, Collaboration, and Online Convenience

Erin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practice concrete skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and many stress-related concerns. She also integrates client-centered therapy, focusing on empathic listening and support to create space for clients to set their own priorities and feel heard during the change process.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with clients to choose which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and achievable for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care from home or other convenient locations. These formats support continuity of care and practical scheduling while allowing therapists to use CBT, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing techniques adapted for remote sessions.
