About Erin
Erin Mace is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Erin works with people who struggle with parenting pressures, relationship problems, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar disorder. Erin uses practical, person-centered methods to help people rebuild trust in themselves.
She draws on the Gottman Method to support communication and connection, and on attachment-based ideas to address patterns that cause distance and hurt. Cognitive approaches help with changing unhelpful thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear, doable steps. Erin helps clients identify patterns, try new behaviors, and practice skills between meetings.
She also supports people working through family conflict, body image issues, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her work often centers on improving communication, reducing reactivity, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Clients get straightforward tools for everyday struggles like workplace stress, social anxiety, and navigating life transitions. Erin aims to make therapy accessible and relevant to each person's goals.
Erin offers sessions in English and provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices in Virginia as an LPC and brings two decades of experience to each conversation.
Using Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Erin blends a few practical approaches to help people make change. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing harmful patterns between people, offering concrete skills for clearer conversations and less reactive cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people build greater emotional safety and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and teaches step-by-step strategies to shift thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin partners with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors techniques from these approaches so sessions match the client’s needs, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.
Online therapy makes the process more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues during communication work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between visits. These options help fit therapy into busy days, manage time around work or parenting, and keep progress moving forward.
