About Erin

Dr. Erin Armour is a Tennessee psychologist with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, sleep problems, addiction concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and the practical burdens of caregiving and chronic illness.

She helps people untangle everyday problems at home. That includes struggles with anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and major life changes. She also notes a focus on family and parenting concerns and on attachment and abandonment issues.

Her style is straightforward and goal-focused. Sessions involve talking through patterns, learning small skills, and trying new ways of responding between meetings. She combines evidence-informed methods with a human-centered way of working so adults can test practical changes that fit their lives.

Dr. Armour uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work. She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas when they suit a person's goals. This mix is used to address mood, anxiety, relationship communication, sleep, and coping with long-term health issues.

People who connect with her often want clear steps and tools they can use at home. New clients begin by describing their main concerns and goals, then collaborate on a plan for sessions and follow-up between meetings. She practices in Tennessee and conducts work in English.

How sessions work

How Dr. Armour’s approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-based actions so clients can move toward what matters despite worry or low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and communication, and it can be useful when relationship strain or abandonment fears are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and collaboratively decide which methods to try. That might mean using ACT skills one week, practicing a CBT technique the next, and discussing attachment patterns when relationship issues arise.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. A therapist can also suggest practical homework and quick tools that fit into daily routines, helping people apply what they discuss between meetings.
