Erin GoddardLCSW

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the challenges that come with parenting and life changes. She offers down-to-earth support for relationship and communication struggles, addictions, self-esteem concerns, and career transitions. Erin writes plainly and listens carefully to each person’s story.

With seven years of experience, Erin uses straightforward talk and practical tools. She prioritizes a respectful and positive space where a person’s goals guide the work. Erin encourages small, doable steps and helps people notice what matters most to them.

Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment approaches, and client-centered work. She blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and find values-based choices. Sessions focus on concrete strategies that feel usable between meetings.

Erin also supports people facing specific stressors such as caregiving strain, blended family challenges, cancer-related distress, and coping after separation or loss. She can assist with eating and body-image concerns, codependency, and issues tied to autism or avoidant personality patterns.

Clients can expect collaborative conversations that move toward clear goals. Erin frames setbacks as part of change and helps develop skills for everyday life. She welcomes those looking for both short-term coaching and longer-term therapy work.

How Erin’s approaches translate to online therapy

Erin often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT combines mindful awareness with practical actions to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another approach she draws on to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and checks in about what’s helping and what needs to change.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the environments where they live and work. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt exercises like mindfulness, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning to an online setting, and Erin uses practical tools that translate to remote sessions when that format is offered.
