About Erin
Erin Murphy is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in Kentucky with ten years of clinical experience. She offers trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming care and works with adults on a range of everyday and complex concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and family problems.
Erin trained in counseling psychology and philosophy at the University of Kentucky. She uses person-centered, non-directive methods so the client guides the topics. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements from other approaches to match each persons needs.
Her work attends to neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ identities, and she notes experience with ADHD and autism presentations. Practical skills and psychoeducation are common parts of sessions, along with attention to how stigma or avoidance can affect well-being.
Erin describes sessions that combine validation with concrete tools. She helps people talk through interpersonal or work-related problems, mood and anxiety concerns, trauma reactions, and patterns linked to family of origin and attachment issues.
She offers 45-minute sessions by phone, video, or chat during weekday hours. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Erin uses ACT, attachment work, and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-guided steps. It often includes mindfulness and exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns; it helps people notice how attachment styles affect communication and closeness and supports changes in those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive stance where the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead to build understanding and self-directed goals.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Erin will discuss different methods and try things that fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to focus on over time.
The biography lists phone, video, and chat 45-minute sessions as options. If you rely on fitting therapy into a busy day, those remote formats can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid the need to be on camera. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available for scheduling.
