About Erin

Erin Weekes is a licensed social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and helps people sort through immediate challenges. Erin encourages practical steps parents can try between sessions and values each person's strengths.

She uses approaches that help people notice what matters and take action on it. Erin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and build small habits.

Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Erin holds state licensure as an LISW and an LCSW. Her practice reflects twelve years of work in social services and clinical settings.

That background shapes a pragmatic style that aims to be steady and straightforward. Sessions often focus on coping skills for life changes, managing compassion fatigue, and improving communication within families. She also addresses concerns such as parenting struggles, relationship tension, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and career issues.

Erin works with clients in South Carolina and provides services in English. Her approach is collaborative - she listens first, then helps people try strategies that fit their life. Getting started begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a session that works for the person.

How Erin’s approaches translate to online therapy

Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful for parenting goals and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking, often with practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She partners with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routines. Together they adjust techniques based on what helps most in the client’s life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility around busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to fit short check-ins or regular sessions into a hectic week and let people use tools and homework that suit their daily routines.

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.

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.
