About Erin

Erin Arthur is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who supports people coping with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress. She helps those facing low self-esteem, bipolar and other mood disorders, relationship and family tensions, grief, anger, and major life changes. Her tone is matter-of-fact and compassionate, aimed at parents and adults looking for practical help.

Erin draws on more than 31 years of counseling experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward talk, listening, and goal-setting to address what feels most pressing. Sessions focus on identifying core problems and building skills that can be used day to day. Her work includes attention to chronic pain and illness, substance use concerns, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, and family of origin issues.

She also offers support around HIV/AIDS, multicultural concerns, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness. Trauma, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal mood changes are areas she routinely addresses. Erin uses several practical therapy methods, choosing what fits a person’s situation.

These include client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. The emphasis is on clear steps forward rather than jargon. She offers sessions in English and provides online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the listed process.

Online approaches that fit your needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps clarify goals, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change them through practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, mood issues, and stress by building new thinking and behavior patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling around busy family life and make regular contact possible without travel. For many people, flexibility in format helps keep momentum and makes consistent support easier to maintain.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
