About Erin
Erin Uphoff is a licensed clinician in Maryland who combines practical therapy with a respectful, person-focused style. She holds an MD and is an LCSW-C, and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. Parents and individuals often come to her for help with stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Erin centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them use their strengths to make change.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at what matters most to each client. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful patterns and practice new skills. Mindfulness strategies are used to build awareness and manage intense feelings.
A client-centered stance keeps the focus on each person's goals and values. Erin also uses solution-focused tools to set clear steps forward. That approach suits people who want concrete, short-term progress on specific problems.
Over time she blends tools to match changing needs. Sessions typically involve talking through immediate challenges, trying new coping skills, and reviewing what worked. She helps with parenting stress, workplace strain, body image worries, guilt, and mood or panic symptoms.
The work is collaborative, practical, and paced to the individual.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Erin uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's values and goals. This approach means sessions begin with what the client wants to work on and then follow the client's lead to build momentum.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another main tool she uses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. This method is useful for anxiety, anger, mood concerns, and panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with clients to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online sessions can make regular care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills together, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can provide shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for appointments, help maintain continuity, and make it simpler to build new coping habits into daily routines.
