About Erin

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career shifts, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With seven years of professional experience, she draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients identify goals, build practical skills, and make sustainable changes. Erin emphasizes a collaborative, respectful stance that recognizes each person as the expert on their own life.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness-based strategies as well as client-centered and motivational approaches. She seeks to create a genuine and positive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their stories, clarify priorities, and develop concrete plans.

Erin also addresses a wide range of additional concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, eating and food-related issues, and coping with life-altering events. Erin invites people who are ready to take a step toward change to begin the process, acknowledging that starting therapy often takes courage.

She supports clients through assessment, goal setting, and ongoing adjustments to treatment so that care aligns with their needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erin commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful behavior change, which can help with grief, coping with life transitions, and persistent worries.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist and client work together to determine which methods fit the client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances. Erin adapts techniques as therapy progresses so that sessions remain targeted and relevant to what the client needs at each stage.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
