About Erin

Erin Murphy is an LPCC based in Kentucky who centers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within a person-centered practice. Erin blends ACT with cognitive and dialectical strategies to help clients build values-based action and practical skills for stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

Their approach emphasizes collaboration and adaptation to each person's strengths rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol. With ten years of clinical experience, Erin draws on training in attachment-focused work and client-centered techniques to create an affirming environment for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent adults.

Sessions integrate psychoeducation and tailored therapeutic tools to increase self-awareness, reduce avoidance, and support meaningful change in areas such as relationships, career concerns, grief, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. Erin also addresses overlapping concerns like chronic health challenges, codependency, and family of origin patterns.

Erin provides 45-minute sessions by video, phone, chat, or text and schedules appointments Monday through Friday with typical hours starting at 10:00 AM and ending with the last session at 6:00 PM. Prospective clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Erin commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. ACT focuses on helping clients identify personal values and take committed action while learning skills to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and challenges like ADHD-related avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current emotional responses, helping clients address relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and family of origin concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. Erin works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods as appropriate to create a personalized plan for change and skill building.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats allow consistent access to therapy from Kentucky-based licensed professionals and make it easier to attend regular 45-minute appointments while fitting work, care, and life obligations into a practical routine.
