About Erin

Erin Ellis is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and ADHD. With five years of clinical experience, she brings a compassionate, respectful approach that prioritizes each person's unique needs and lived experience.

Background and approach

Erin works to create a collaborative space where clients can explore challenges like trauma and grief, intimacy and relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Her practice adapts conversational style and treatment plans to fit individual goals, drawing on evidence-based techniques to address patterns that keep clients stuck.

Erin emphasizes sensitivity and practical support while working with issues such as panic, codependency, eating and anger concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. She encourages taking the first step toward change and offers steady guidance as clients build skills, regain balance, and pursue a more satisfying life.

Approaches for online skill-building and emotional regulation

Erin integrates client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support people working through emotional and behavioral challenges. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring the conversation to a person's goals so they feel heard and respected. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework that translate well to online formats. DBT offers skill training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Erin will discuss your goals, preferences, and current needs during early sessions and adjust methods over time to ensure the work feels relevant and manageable. This shared decision-making helps shape a plan that balances long-term growth with immediate coping strategies.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make regular contact and skill practice more accessible, allowing clients to integrate therapeutic tools into daily life while maintaining continuity of care regardless of location.
