About Erin

Erin Arthur is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Missouri with 31 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship stress, and the everyday strain of parenting and family concerns.

Erin works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She listens and talks through what matters now. Sessions aim to identify the core issues behind current problems and build practical steps to manage them. She uses approaches that prioritize the client's own goals and values.

Her clinical tools include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. These are chosen to match the problem and the person rather than following a single method.

Erin has long experience across settings and with a broad range of difficulties, including chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin issues, HIV/AIDS, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood changes, and multicultural concerns. She has worked with both adolescents and adults and draws on that history when planning care.

In early sessions she helps people clarify goals and pick practical steps. The work can include learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking, building motivation, and practicing mindfulness. She asks questions, offers direct feedback, and adjusts plans as progress is made.

How sessions work

How Erin’s approaches translate to online work

Erin blends client-centered listening with practical methods. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s priorities. It is helpful when someone needs support naming what matters and setting personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy adds short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. Erin will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people use audio-only when video is difficult or choose a time that works around work and caregiving commitments.
