About Erin

Erin Bullington is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and related life challenges. She practices in Colorado and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Erin keeps sessions practical and straightforward so busy parents can apply what they learn between appointments.

She offers art therapy as an optional tool when clients want a more creative way to process difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Erin treats problems like depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating concerns, anger, and self-esteem issues using approaches that match each person’s needs. She also addresses attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and communication problems within families. Her practice includes support for LGBT clients and people coping with fertility, caregiver stress, cancer, or bereavement.

In session she draws from client-centered, attachment-based, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused methods. That means she balances listening, exploring past patterns, and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms now. She prefers working collaboratively and adjusts methods to fit each family's comfort and goals.

Erin explains therapy in simple terms and helps clients set clear, achievable steps. Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and needs. Prospective clients in Colorado can expect a straightforward intake to match goals and plan next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotions. In plain terms, it helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more reliable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing strong emotions with step-by-step techniques. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and choices; the therapist listens deeply and supports clients in finding their own solutions rather than giving directions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin will discuss options and try methods that match a family's needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative process often begins with a simple plan and is adjusted as progress is seen or priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let busy parents fit sessions into their schedules, revisit written guidance from chat or text, and choose the communication style that feels easiest. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver practical strategies, check progress between meetings, and keep work moving forward even when life is hectic.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
