About Erin
Erin Borden is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, and low mood. She brings six years of experience and focuses on clear, doable steps that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
Parents who feel overwhelmed and anyone navigating big life changes will find straightforward support and guidance. Erin starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing strengths they already have.
She helps people set small goals and build skills for handling panic, low self-esteem, and workplace or caregiver stress. Sessions emphasize communication skills and ways to manage impulsivity or intense emotions.
People often work on changing unhelpful patterns that increase isolation, emptiness, or ongoing worry. Erin offers practical tools for coping with panic attacks and mood shifts, and she helps clients explore life purpose and forgiveness when those issues come up.
The approach is flexible and focused on what the person needs right now. Erin practices in California as a CA LMFT.
She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging when those formats fit a client’s needs. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, Erin asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. The first steps center on building a plan that feels manageable and realistic for daily life.
Evidence-based methods for online support
Erin uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach emphasizes developing coping skills for anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding techniques, and practicing ways to respond differently when worry spikes. Another common focus is building communication and problem-solving skills to address workplace stress, caregiver strain, or parenting challenges; this often means practicing clearer requests and setting realistic boundaries.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Erin works with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She helps clients decide which techniques fit their needs and daily routines so work in sessions transfers to everyday life.
Online therapy with Erin can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for brief updates, ongoing check-ins, or fitting support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, parenting, or caregiving demands.
