Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Erin Lee draws on solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices to guide online sessions. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes clear, achievable goals and practical steps to address immediate problems, making it useful for clients seeking focused change in areas like parenting, career stress, or relationship challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can help people dealing with strong mood shifts, anger, or trauma-related reactions. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that reduce rumination and support emotional balance for those managing anxiety, grief, or overwhelming stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erin works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which strategies feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video, over the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - so people can access therapy from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules and to continue work with a licensed professional even when in-person meetings are not convenient.
