About Erin

Erin Murphy is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Kentucky. She uses a person-centered, non-directive approach and draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients identify values and make steady changes. Erin aims to provide care that respects each person's identity and lived experience.

Erin keeps sessions focused on what matters to the client. She blends gentle teaching with practical skills work. That can look like learning ways to manage anxiety, building routines that support better sleep, or breaking down big problems into smaller steps.

Her background includes degrees in Counseling Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Kentucky. Over the past decade she has worked with people facing mood concerns, trauma, burnout, and life transitions. She emphasizes plain explanations and concrete tools that can be used between sessions.

Erin has pursued additional training related to ADHD and autism and aims to adapt care to neurodivergent ways of being. She also describes her practice as LGBTQ+, kink, and ENM affirming and attends to the impacts of stigma and avoidance when those issues come up.

Sessions are 45 minutes and offered Monday through Friday, with typical start times between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. To request times outside that window clients are invited to reach out and discuss possible arrangements. Scheduling is handled through the site dashboard.

How Erin’s approaches translate to online care

Erin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. That approach often includes exercises to notice thoughts and choose actions that match long-term goals. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and to build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, strengths, and preferences, and adjusts methods over time based on what helps most. Clients are invited to guide the focus of sessions and to raise concerns about pacing or style.

Erin's practice offers 45-minute sessions and the biography notes phone, video, and chat as formats; please confirm available formats when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, require less travel time, and allow for different interaction styles such as shorter check-ins by chat or face-to-face work by video. Discussing practical needs and preferred formats during the first appointment helps ensure sessions fit daily life and therapeutic goals.
