About Erin

Erin Weekes is a licensed clinical social worker in South Carolina and holds the credentials LISW and LCSW. She has 12 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, family concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coaching, and ADHD. She speaks English.

Erin frames clients as experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Her work includes attention to abandonment and attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and family of origin problems. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, codependency, communication and control problems, commitment and divorce issues, and aging or geriatric questions.

In sessions she helps people talk through immediate problems and set short-term goals. Conversations often include skills practice, values-based choices, and experiments to test changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and the stresses of caregiving or high-demand jobs.

Erin asks clients to take a few concrete steps at the start - identify current priorities, notice what gets in the way, and pick one small change to try. That practical focus carries through later work, when the plan is adjusted based on what is helpful and what is not.

BHow sessions work

How Erin uses ACT, Client-Centered work and CBT online

Erin often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it separates what matters from what the mind is saying.

Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and priorities. That approach supports people who need a steady, respectful place to talk through family conflicts, grief, or caregiver strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy supplies concrete tools for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT techniques are often used for anxiety, anger, self-esteem struggles, and some parenting or relationship problems.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which mix of ACT, Client-Centered methods, and CBT feels most useful.

Confirm the session formats available before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins or options that reduce travel, which helps people keep therapy consistent with daily life.
