About Erin
Erin Brahms is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, addiction, and mood struggles. She writes plainly and listens closely to help clients find practical ways to cope. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at small steps that add up to real change.
Erin draws on 14 years of counseling experience in a range of settings. She has substantial experience supporting adolescents in schools and working with people facing drug, alcohol, or gaming addiction.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize developing coping skills that fit daily life and personal values. In the room she creates space for honest talk without judgment. Conversations move toward clear goals and doable strategies rather than long lists of techniques.
She helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and track what actually improves. Erin uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness tools to address symptoms and habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps also appear in sessions when people want concrete change and clearer next steps.
Her style suits someone who wants practical support for anger, anxiety, depression, substance or process addiction, and life transitions. Erin aims to empower each person to build skills that help them feel steadier and more in control.

Approaches and practical online therapy
Erin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and patterns that keep repeating. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people pause before acting.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Erin will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting plans based on what you find helpful. The process is collaborative, and she focuses on small experiments you can evaluate over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who express themselves better in writing. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while using the approaches described above.
