About Erin
Dr. Erin Johnson is a clinical psychologist who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday pressures. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger.
Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at practical change rather than labels. She meets people where they are and builds an honest, respectful working relationship. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients set small, manageable goals.
Background and approach
When appropriate, she uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build new skills for coping with intense feelings. Dr. Johnson blends several well-known approaches to fit each person’s needs.
She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift thought patterns, dialectical behavior therapy skills to manage strong emotions, and mindfulness practices to increase calm and focus. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. Her work includes support around life transitions, grief, career stress, fertility and caregiver strain, and multicultural concerns.
She pays attention to family of origin issues and communication problems while helping people clarify values and make practical changes. Dr. Johnson holds psychologist credentials in California and South Carolina and has eight years of professional experience.
She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Johnson commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This approach suits worries, panic, low mood, and many stress-related problems because it focuses on clear steps and practice exercises.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal boundaries. Those skills are useful when anger or intense feelings get in the way of daily life or relationships. Mindfulness practices are included to build attention and reduce reactivity through simple breathing and grounding exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. She will work together with each person to choose techniques that match goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical options: video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is an issue, live chat for short check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving routines, or busy schedules while keeping the work focused on skills and real-life changes.
