About Erin

Erin George uses an evidence-based, practical approach to help people manage life’s toughest problems. She is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 15 years of social work experience. Erin writes straightforward goals with clients and focuses on steps people can try between sessions.

Her tone is steady and hopeful, and she aims to make therapy feel useful from the start. Over her career Erin has focused on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and issues related to identity.

Background and approach

She also works with problems like sleep disturbance, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes. Relationship matters and parenting topics are part of her practice as well. Erin pays attention to both current problems and the patterns that lead to them.

She helps people name problems, set small goals, and test new ways of responding. Sessions tend to be direct, practical, and tailored to what the person needs right now. Her additional focus areas include blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, family of origin concerns, and recovery from domestic violence and substance use.

She brings experience with complex, overlapping issues and works to keep plans simple and doable. Erin offers care in English and provides sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She holds the Ohio LISW license number I.1000384-SUPV and practices from Ohio.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Erin uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Cognitive strategies help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress. Behavioral methods focus on building routines, sleep, and small actions that support recovery from addictions and mood difficulties.

She also draws on problem-solving and skills training to address relationship strain, parenting challenges, and communication problems. These approaches break issues into manageable steps and teach concrete skills that people can try between sessions. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process - Erin works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let you talk face to face from home. Phone sessions work well when video is impractical. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support and shorter check-ins between sessions. This range of options makes it easier to fit care into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
