About Erin
Erin Eiland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed in California with eight years of experience. She helps adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and related challenges like ADHD and bipolar mood issues. Her practice also addresses concerns around adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, and struggles with self-esteem and anger.
Erin uses a direct, practical style in sessions. She centers the conversation on what the person wants to change and on clear steps they can try between meetings. Sessions often include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Her client-centered stance means she listens for a person’s goals and adapts the work to fit their values and rhythms. For parents and adult children, she can talk through communication problems, caregiver stress, and handling transitions like adoption, fostering, or blending households. When appropriate, she may use solution-focused techniques to set small, practical goals.
Erin has experience providing therapy related to chronic illness, codependency, abandonment, and commitment concerns. She integrates DBT skills when emotion regulation or impulsive behavior become central problems. The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship work by offering concrete communication and conflict tools.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and usable. She asks what is most pressing, suggests doable experiments, and checks in on what helps. Clients are invited to reshape the work as needs change.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can mean tracing interaction habits and practicing new responses during conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments. Together these techniques help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and communication struggles by giving concrete steps to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and daily life. That might mean starting with CBT exercises for a few weeks, then shifting to attachment-focused conversation or adding DBT skills for emotion regulation as needed.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Many people find virtual sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy day, have shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. Erin adapts the work to the person’s schedule and preferences so therapy can be practical and more easily woven into everyday responsibilities.
