About Erin
Erin Brumback is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Erin also focuses on issues such as attachment, body image, codependency, and guilt and shame.
Erin works from a strengths-based, whole-person view. She treats clients as partners in the work and helps them make practical changes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.
In sessions she helps people talk through painful feelings and confusing patterns. That can mean naming difficult emotions, testing new ways of relating, and building small habits that reduce overwhelm. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work rather than relying on vague promises.
Erin notices how past relationships and family messages shape current shame and self-blame. She helps people separate old rules from what they want now. When relevant, she addresses communication problems, impulse control, and feelings of isolation.
Away from work she enjoys nature, animals, reading, films, thrift shopping, and time with loved ones. Her personal interests inform a relaxed, plainspoken approach in sessions rather than any particular treatment claim.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Erin works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people name and change patterns that drive guilt and shame. One common approach focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep negative beliefs alive and then practicing small behavior changes to weaken those patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and mood concerns.Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns from past relationships. It helps people notice how old expectations of themselves show up now and try new ways of relating that feel more manageable. That work can be helpful for communication problems, codependency, and feelings of isolation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each client to decide what methods make sense based on needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges become clearer.
