About Erin

Erin Welsh is a licensed counselor practicing in Maryland with both an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor). She brings fifteen years of clinical experience helping children, adolescents, adults, caregivers, and people who are growing their families. Her work combines clinical training with practical techniques to help clients identify strengths, clarify needs, and move toward meaningful goals.

Erin favors a collaborative approach that emphasizes individualized planning and skill building. She works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, career stress, OCD, and ADHD, and tailors interventions so treatment fits each person’s unique situation. Her methods draw from multiple therapeutic models to support improved self-esteem, better coping, and a more positive perspective.

When working with children as young as four, Erin involves parents and caregivers, meeting with parents and the child individually and together when appropriate. She may include siblings or other family members so the household can work as a unit to support the child. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to address negative self-talk, and multisensory or tactile techniques are incorporated for younger clients who benefit from hands-on activities.

Erin provides messaging and live messaging services as well as occasional phone sessions and checks in Monday through Friday to maintain ongoing communication with clients.

Approach-driven care available online

Erin Welsh draws on evidence-based methods to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and managing negative self-talk. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and helps clients improve connection, boundaries, and intimacy in current relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages practical steps toward valued goals while teaching skills to accept difficult emotions - it can support coping with stress, life transitions, and persistent worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey, and Erin works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore techniques and tailor interventions so therapy is practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online sessions offer flexibility by allowing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments and let licensed professionals and therapists provide consistent support without requiring travel.
