About Erin

Erin Kemp is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of professional experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and a range of relationship and life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes each client's own knowledge of their story and works from a strengths-based perspective to bolster motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while addressing topics such as LGBT-related concerns, grief, trauma, intimacy issues, and parenting stresses. Her practice incorporates evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based approaches to support practical coping and emotional awareness.

Erin also draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when clients are managing strong emotions, habit change, or complex life transitions. Licensed to practice in Louisiana as an LCSW, she frames the decision to begin therapy as a courageous step and aims to make the process collaborative and respectful of each individual’s goals and pace.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Erin blends practical, skills-focused methods with person-centered support to help clients through challenges online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build coping strategies for everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client€™s perspective and strengths, offering empathy and collaborative goal-setting so individuals feel heard and involved in shaping their treatment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds techniques for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness when relationships or strong feelings are causing difficulty.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore goals, preferences, and current needs together with each client to determine whether CBT, client-centered methods, DBT skills, or a combination will be most helpful for the situation at hand.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while accommodating work, family, and travel demands.
