Therapeutic approaches and online care
Holly Erskine draws on evidence-informed approaches to support people coping with trauma, emotion dysregulation, mood challenges, and related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - tools that are helpful for managing intense emotions and impulsive behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic memories and responses, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build problem-solving skills.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Holly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time as progress is made and priorities evolve.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and continue consistent work toward therapeutic goals without requiring in-person visits.
