Erin Hightower , LCSW

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people build practical skills and process difficult experiences. One common focus is developing coping and emotion-regulation skills - learning concrete strategies to manage stress, anxiety, cravings, and disruptive thoughts so daily life becomes more manageable. Another emphasis is trauma-informed care - creating a supportive space to work through past harms, understand their impact, and gradually restore a sense of safety and empowerment. She also works collaboratively on relationship and communication skills to improve connection, reduce conflict, and address intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin partners with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy feels relevant and effective. This collaborative stance helps clients stay engaged and make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and accessible while working with a licensed professional toward their goals.
