About Erin

Erin Welsh is a Maryland-based clinician with 15 years of experience who helps people facing a wide range of life challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, mood disorders, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She combines clinical skill with a collaborative mindset, working with each client to identify strengths, set meaningful goals, and take practical steps toward improved coping and self-esteem. Erin approaches care with flexibility, tailoring methods to the individual rather than relying on a single protocol.

Her background includes training across several evidence-informed therapies such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, attachment-focused work, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered principles. Erin often blends these methods to address issues like parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, intimacy concerns, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

She also integrates multisensory and tactile strategies when appropriate for younger clients, and emphasizes parent involvement where family dynamics affect a child’s wellbeing. Erin holds an MD and the LCPC license (LC6399) and offers services in English from Maryland, accepting international clients.

Her practice uses messaging and live messaging as primary formats with occasional phone sessions, and she supports clients through a collaborative, strengths-based process aimed at helping them move toward more adaptive ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Erin uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) among other methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning practical skills to change behaviors and emotions, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and accepting difficult feelings while building psychological flexibility, a helpful frame for coping with stress, life transitions, and chronic worry.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works together with each client to explore which methods fit the client’s goals, preferences, and presenting issues, and she adapts her mix of techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during busy weeks, manage emerging concerns between synchronous visits, and receive support from wherever the client is located.
