About Erin

Erin Mace brings a cognitive-behavioral orientation to her work, pairing practical skill-building with an emphasis on emotional understanding.

Background and approach

As an LPC practicing in Virginia with 20 years of experience, she helps people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and the fallout from trauma and grief while teaching tools to manage eating, sleeping, anger, and everyday coping.

Her use of CBT is balanced with approaches that attend to attachment and relational patterns, allowing clients to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors alongside deeper relational dynamics. Erin cultivates a collaborative, compassionate space where clients are invited to examine issues like family conflict, parenting struggles, communication breakdowns, and workplace stress.

She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, body image, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, and the search for life purpose. Her practice supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and compassion fatigue while offering coaching for life transitions.

Grounded in client-centered values, Erin emphasizes each person’s strengths and goals and works with them to build sustainable strategies for growth and resilience. She provides therapy in English and practices with the professional standards reflected by her LPC credential in Virginia.

Online therapy that combines skill-building and relational insight

Erin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this practical approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and day-to-day coping skills. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for family problems, communication difficulties, and feelings of isolation.

Choosing an approach is part of the collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in practice. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, attachment work, or a mix of approaches so therapy aligns with the client’s needs and evolving priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy lives and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, try different interaction styles, and maintain continuity of care while focusing on practical strategies and relational change.
