About Erin
Erin Eiland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
Erin also supports clients facing identity and LGBT issues, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Erin uses a down-to-earth style.
She centers sessions on each person's strengths and goals. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
She adapts activities and the pace to fit how someone learns and copes. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered techniques, solution-focused strategies, and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns.
Erin sometimes brings art-based exercises into work when that helps people express themselves or practice new skills. Sessions are tailored to the person and not one-size-fits-all.
Erin listens, suggests concrete steps, and checks in frequently about progress. She adjusts methods and homework based on what is most useful for each person.
Erin has eight years of clinical experience and has worked in settings involving foster care and adoption-related issues. She aims to make therapy accessible and practical so people can use what they learn between sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Erin draws from Gottman Method ideas to help people with relationship patterns, communication habits, and rebuilding trust. These techniques focus on specific behaviors and interactions people can practice and change in daily life.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape reactions and closeness. This approach helps people understand their needs and try different ways of connecting. Erin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build skills that reduce anxiety and mood symptoms through small experiments and exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Erin will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust based on what fits best. The plan evolves as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions offer flexibility that many people find practical. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and practice of communication skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when video isn't possible or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief support, skill reminders, or when scheduling makes real-time sessions difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
