About Erin
Erin Hawkinson is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel practical. Parents and caregivers looking for clear guidance around relationships, parenting, grief, or everyday overwhelm will find straightforward support.
Erin has 18 years of experience and offers sessions in English from Oklahoma. Her style is client-centered, meaning she tailors sessions to each person’s needs and preferences.
Background and approach
She blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice patterns, try new skills, and align actions with important values. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships show up in present life.
Erin has additional training that informs her work, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR-related methods, and hypnotherapy techniques used for relaxation and behavior change. She explains techniques clearly and helps clients choose what feels most useful. Treatment can address mood concerns, parenting stress, relationship problems, substance-related issues, and caregiver fatigue.
Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and use a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.
Erin aims to create calm, practical sessions where people learn small, usable steps. She focuses on what will help someone feel steadier and more in control of daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility
Erin commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people make steady changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings.She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationship patterns affect current connections and parenting. During the first sessions she works collaboratively with clients to figure out which approaches to prioritize based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a team effort where adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to provide practical options for busy families and working caregivers. These formats allow for scheduling flexibility, shorter check-ins when needed, and continued contact between sessions. Erin tailors the mix of live and messaging contact to what helps each person make progress while fitting into their daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
