About Erin
Erin Uphoff is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Erin also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, mood concerns, panic, pregnancy and childbirth issues, self-love, social anxiety, women's issues, workplace stress, and impulsivity.
Erin frames sessions around the person's own story and strengths. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions aim to break down problems into manageable steps rather than rely on abstract ideas.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s priorities at the center. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
Erin applies solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals between sessions. This can help people feel progress faster when they are overwhelmed by big emotions like shame or persistent guilt. She encourages experimenting with brief practices and noticing what changes.
People who choose Erin can expect practical discussion, short exercises, and planning for real-life challenges. She invites people to name what they want to change and works alongside them to find workable steps. To begin, the process includes completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial meeting.
How Erin’s approaches translate to online sessions
Erin uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person’s priorities. That approach means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and shaping goals from there. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that address anxiety, guilt, or low mood.These approaches are presented collaboratively. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Erin discusses options with each person and adjusts methods to match their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels useful and doable.
