    About Erin

    Erin Beskid is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical skills and straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, career questions, or life changes.

    Erin believes most people already have strengths they can build on and that a little direction can make those strengths more useful. She meets people where they are and uses a patient, nonjudgmental style while staying practical and direct when needed. Her work often includes coping skills, mindfulness, and behavior-based strategies that aim to reduce immediate distress.

    Her background includes performance coaching, working with people recovering from injury, and supporting LGBTQ+ clients. She has taught at high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels and has experience using biofeedback and physiological strategies to address stress and anxiety. These experiences shaped a flexible approach that blends skills practice with theory.

    Erin uses a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor help to each person. She emphasizes skills clients can use between sessions and encourages steady, realistic progress.

    People who value clear guidance, hands-on coping tools, and a collaborative tone may find her style a good fit. The aim is to support lasting change while keeping the work grounded and manageable.

  2. How therapeutic methods translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and build motivation one step at a time; it’s useful for behavior change, addictions, and when motivation feels stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being led by them and commit to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is often part of early sessions. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust as needed so the approach fits the person’s needs and preferences. This collaboration helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.

    Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow check-ins that match a client’s schedule. Some techniques, like skills practice or guided mindfulness, translate well to remote sessions and can be used between meetings to support steady progress.
