About Erin
Erin Arthur is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings three decades of clinical and case management experience to her work.
Background and approach
She supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, anxiety and stress, grief, anger, and relationship or family concerns. Her practice also addresses chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, substance use concerns, and other complex issues like post-traumatic stress and multicultural challenges.
Erin blends client-centered principles with practical, evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused approaches. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.
Erin focuses on identifying and working through core issues that contribute to current difficulties and encourages collaboration toward meaningful growth. With a long history of supporting adolescents and adults, she frames starting therapy as a careful match process, acknowledging that reaching out can be hard and that finding the right fit matters.
Erin invites prospective clients to explore whether her approach aligns with their goals and circumstances.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Erin frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often applied to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their goals and values.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people build present-moment awareness and coping skills for emotional regulation and stress management. These approaches can be adapted to address trauma histories, substance-related concerns, and challenges like grief, relationship conflict, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress and priorities evolve.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and communication. These options make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to be shaped around practical needs while still focusing on meaningful clinical work.
