About Erin
Erin Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 20 years of practice. She works with people who are facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and family conflict. Her focus includes relationship and intimacy issues, anger, career stress, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Erin trained at the University of Illinois at Chicago and holds an additional certification in mindfulness. She uses solution-focused methods alongside acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices. Sessions often include practical skills and short strategies clients can try between meetings.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward, teachable tools. She uses psychoeducation and step-by-step skills training so people can notice small, manageable changes. During the summer she offers a fast-track option that concentrates on a specific goal over six meetings in three weeks to produce quicker relief.
Erin encourages clients to build simple mindfulness and self-care habits that fit a busy life. She also offers a LiveChat option that some clients find convenient for brief, focused work. For people seeking longer-term weekly therapy, she notes the fast-track model may not be the best match.
She practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the platform's matching flow.
BHow sessions work
How Erin Applies Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with concrete exercises and practice tasks; it is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and is useful when strong emotions and relationship conflict are a key issue.Deciding which approach suits someone is a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and day-to-day constraints and recommend methods to try. Clients often combine techniques from more than one model until they find what fits their life and goals.
The therapist's profile notes a LiveChat option that some clients use for concise, focused work, and a summer fast-track model concentrating on six meetings in three weeks for targeted short-term goals. If you prefer other session formats, confirm current options before booking so you understand how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit brief skills practice into a busy week, allow for flexible check-ins, and support consistent application of strategies between sessions.
