About Erin
Erin Arney is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 10 years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Erin also lists focus areas that include family problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Erin uses several well-known therapy approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and patterns that began in family of origin. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered techniques are also part of her toolbox.
In sessions Erin talks through what has been happening, what matters most to the person, and small steps that fit into daily life. She pays attention to how stress, illness, or past losses affect daily functioning and relationships. Conversations often include practical skills for managing intense emotions and for improving communication.
People bring concerns such as abandonment, codependency, loneliness, and issues related to aging or chronic illness. Erin also lists work with veteran and armed forces issues among her focus areas. She frames the work as collaborative and problem-focused, aiming to clarify goals and track progress together.
Erin conducts her practice in English and holds licenses in Kentucky. If someone wants to begin, the typical process is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a first session to set initial goals.
How Erin uses therapy approaches online
Erin integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help when guilt or shame limit everyday choices. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns from family history and helps people understand how those patterns affect current relationships and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, history, and what feels workable. That collaborative planning includes trying an approach for several sessions and adjusting as needed.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since options in the original biography included messaging, live video, and phone sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and offer alternatives if video is difficult because of bandwidth. Therapists help clients use chosen methods in everyday life so skills transfer outside the session.
