Erin Cannon , LPC

Erin Cannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a graduate of the Master’s program at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, bringing three years of clinical experience to her work. She has supported clients from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds and social histories, offering care for depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, developmental and educational challenges, and struggles with addiction and eating issues.

Erin has particular experience working with people who have histories of physical or sexual trauma, emotional abuse, and previously diagnosed mental health conditions. Her practice emphasizes an interactive, realistic, and empathetic stance, with a focus on treating each person with dignity and respect regardless of their background or mental health history.

Her therapeutic approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with psychodynamic perspectives, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to fit each client’s unique needs. Erin prioritizes collaboration and nonjudgmental support, helping clients explore goals, develop coping strategies, and address life changes with compassion rather than labels or stigma. She is committed to listening and providing guidance to people from all walks of life.

Approaches for Online Care and Trauma Informed Support

Erin Cannon draws on evidence-informed methods to guide online work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and processing the effects of past trauma, helping people reduce trauma-related symptoms and regain a sense of control and safety in their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erin collaborates with each client to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing so clients feel heard and supported while exploring change together.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional who tailors treatment to individual needs.
