About Erin
Erin Taylor is an Illinois-licensed professional counselor (LCPC) with two decades of experience. She returned to Illinois after nearly ten years practicing in Arizona and brings a mix of crisis intervention and outpatient work to her practice. Her manner is warm and straightforward, with a calm sense of humor to ease tense moments.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with self-esteem. Erin also works with those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, and parenting strain. Adoption and foster care concerns are among the areas she lists as a focus.
Erin combines practical strategies with a person-centered stance. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness to slow things down in the moment. Solution-focused and motivational approaches are used to set clear goals and keep progress moving.
Her background includes work with schools, child welfare (DCFS), emergency rooms, police and fire departments, psychiatric hospitals, and probation services. Internships included a shelter for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and a placement focused on substance use treatment. That variety informs how she tailors plans for each person.
In sessions she aims to make clients feel heard and respected. The treatment plan is developed together and adjusted as needs change. She welcomes diverse backgrounds and beliefs and emphasizes practical tools people can use after therapy ends.
How Erin Brings Therapy Online Using Practical Approaches
Erin often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work based on individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working or life circumstances change.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live, then review what helped in the next meeting.
