About Erin

Erin Dunham is a LICSW practicing in Massachusetts with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through complex emotional and relational challenges. She combines evidence-informed methods with a compassionate stance to help clients build practical coping skills and deeper self-understanding.

Background and approach

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship difficulties, and ADHD, as well as issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment struggles, and post-traumatic stress.

Erin emphasizes collaboration and individualized care, drawing on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic exploration, and solution-focused strategies to match each person's needs. She often helps clients develop resilience and clearer strategies for daily life, addressing areas like self-esteem, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and eating or anger concerns.

Her practice blends short-term problem-solving with deeper exploration when useful, aiming to support both symptom relief and long-term growth. Clients can expect a practitioner who values respect, empathy, and practical progress.

Erin works with adults facing a range of life transitions and emotional difficulties, offering flexible session formats to accommodate varied schedules and preferences.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Erin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is also part of her toolkit, teaching attention and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to clarify goals, trial techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful, combining short-term solution-focused efforts with deeper psychodynamic exploration when appropriate to address underlying patterns.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those balancing busy lives. Erin provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a schedule, and practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to support both skills work and reflective therapy across different concerns.
