About Erin
Erin Spensley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She has six years of clinical experience helping people facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and sleep concerns. Erin aims to make sessions straightforward and welcoming for anyone who wants practical support.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior, then helps clients try new ways of coping. Erin draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in a given moment rather than relying on a single method.
Sessions often focus on real-life skills. That can mean learning tools to manage worry, practicing clearer communication, or building routines that support better rest. Erin also helps people process trauma, address addictive patterns, and work through changes like career shifts or caregiving stress.
She creates an affirming environment for LGBT clients and people who identify outside mainstream relationship or sexual norms. Erin pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that underlie many struggles, including intimacy concerns and codependency.
In conversation she keeps language plain and concrete. Expect practical steps, questions that clarify what matters, and follow-up ideas to try between sessions. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape present relationships and reactions. Online sessions using this perspective often focus on recognizing connection patterns and practicing new ways of relating to partners or close others.Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and goals, with the therapist offering empathic presence and support. In an online conversation this can help people talk through struggles like stress, identity questions, or grief at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Practically, CBT online can involve setting small experiments, tracking sleep or mood, and reviewing results together in session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, have shorter check-ins when needed, or choose a format that reduces the need to be on camera. These practical benefits can help maintain consistency and make therapy more usable alongside everyday responsibilities.
