Erin Mace, LPC - Therapist in Virginia

About Erin

Erin Mace is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience. She centers her work on practical tools and steady support to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Parents and family members often come to her looking for clearer communication and calmer routines.

Sessions are direct and compassionate, focusing on small, useful changes that fit daily life. Erin uses several proven approaches to guide the work.

Background and approach

She draws on attachment-based ideas to track how early patterns affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming.

The aim is to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. Erin listens first, then builds practical strategies with each person. That might look like learning emotion regulation tools, practicing healthier boundaries, or mapping steps to improve sleep and daily routines.

Her background includes long experience with family stress, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues like body image, self-esteem, workplace strain, and compassion fatigue. Everything in sessions is offered at a pace the client can handle.

Erin provides counseling in English and works with online formats including video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging. Her Virginia license number is VA LPC 0701004852.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Erin often uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. This approach helps people understand recurring conflicts and build healthier ways of relating. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erin talks with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods that fit. The plan evolves as progress is made, and the therapist guides adjustments in a collaborative way.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, maintain continuity when life gets hectic, and practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide regular support and focused skill-building from wherever the client is located.

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.
