About Erin

Erin Kemp is a licensed clinical social worker who frames sessions around what matters most to each person. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, LGBT issues, motivation, and parenting concerns. Erin speaks English and brings 15 years of professional experience to her work in Louisiana and with international clients.

She meets people where they are and prioritizes practical steps that can fit into a busy life. Erin sees therapy as a collaborative effort.

Background and approach

She starts by asking about daily routines, strengths, and the small changes someone might want to try. From there she uses straightforward tools to help reduce worry, lift mood, and improve relationships. Conversations are goal-oriented but paced to match each person’s comfort.

Her approach draws from proven methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered conversations. She also weaves in mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when helpful. Those tools help with sleeping problems, anger, grief, and coping with big life changes.

Erin has worked with a wide range of concerns across 15 years of practice. She also brings attention to areas such as parenting, intimacy, trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care, and blended family issues. Her work aims to make everyday life feel more manageable and to build practical skills that last.

To begin, Erin asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions are offered in a variety of online formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Erin uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as part of her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the plan feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life and to keep continuity when routines change. Licensed professionals can use these options to share skills, practice new strategies, and support steady progress from wherever a person is located.

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.

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.
