About Erin

Erin Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice in Illinois, bringing a steady, experienced presence to people facing anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, parenting challenges, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and holds an additional certification in mindfulness, which informs a calm, compassionate approach to clinical work. Erin emphasizes practical, achievable changes rather than abstract goals.

Her sessions blend solution-focused methods with techniques drawn from dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness training. Clients are guided to identify barriers that get in the way of daily functioning and to develop small, sustainable habits that improve wellbeing.

During summer months Erin offers a fast-track option that concentrates on a specific goal across six meetings in three weeks for quicker relief; she also provides psychoeducational tools and accessible self-care practices. She offers live chat, video calls, phone sessions, and text-based messaging to suit different needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erin commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which supports people navigating intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Erin treats that decision as collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with each person and adapt interventions over time so methods match what works best for the individual.

The online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow continuity of care from different locations within Illinois. These formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or those who prefer typing or shorter check-ins, while still using the same evidence-informed techniques discussed above.
