About Erin

Erin Damato is a Connecticut-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD, drawing on clients' existing strengths to support meaningful change.

Background and approach

Erin emphasizes a collaborative relationship that honors each person's story while helping them build practical skills for coping and growth. Her practice also addresses a broad range of related concerns including relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting stress, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions.

Erin supports work on attachment and communication patterns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, substance use issues, and feelings of isolation or shame. She frames therapy as a process of identifying goals, exploring options, and strengthening resilience so clients can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Approach-driven online care and flexible session options

Erin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One commonly used approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms through structured exercises and behavioral strategies that help reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another frequently applied method works on patterns of attachment and communication, helping clients identify relationship dynamics, improve emotional expression, and establish healthier interaction habits.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies together and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure care aligns with what the client values and needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method.

Online work is offered through a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase access and convenience. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, continue work between sessions, and maintain momentum even when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor contact style to each client's situation.
