About Erin

Erin Burvee is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in Kansas. She focuses on mood disorders, relationship strains, and the stresses that come with parenting and family life. Erin draws on long experience to help people who are coping with depression, grief, and life transitions.

She also brings practical support for first responder issues and postpartum depression. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She talks with people about what is happening now and what small steps might reduce stress and improve daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build practical skills, increase understanding, and make routines feel more manageable. Erin uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation. She also integrates solution-focused techniques to identify clear goals and internal family systems work to open up self-understanding.

These approaches are tailored to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. People come for help with anxiety, addictions, anger, eating concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other issues. Erin offers steady guidance for coping with impulsivity, bipolar mood patterns, and career-related stress.

The focus is on usable tools and realistic steps forward. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a mix of formats. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Erin commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot and change patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood, and it offers clear, practical exercises to test new ways of responding. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships through focused skill practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Then she and the client decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust over time based on what works best.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. This flexibility lets people connect from home, keep therapy going during busy periods, and use brief messaging between longer sessions when helpful. The format supports regular skill practice and follow-up without requiring travel.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
