About Erin

Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky who centers therapy on Existential ideas and client-centered care. She combines a thoughtful philosophical perspective with practical strategies to help adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Erin earned graduate degrees in counseling psychology and philosophy from the University of Kentucky.

She brings about ten years of clinical experience and uses that background to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and non-directive. Erin listens first, then offers tools drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and attachment-focused work when they fit the person’s goals. She aims to make therapy feel relevant and usable, not abstract.

Erin also has training and experience with ADHD and autism-related supports and provides services that affirm LGBT identities and alternative-sex cultures. Her approach pays attention to how stigma, identity, and neurodivergence shape stress and coping. Practically, Erin offers 45-minute appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging on weekdays.

She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling begins through the platform’s matching questionnaire and calendar.

Approaches Erin names

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Erin commonly draws on Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her online work. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, values, and personal responsibility and can help people facing life transitions, emptiness, or questions about purpose. ACT teaches practical skills for accepting hard thoughts while committing to actions that align with values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current patterns and to practice safer ways of connecting. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist listens to what matters to each person, then suggests methods to try and adjusts them over time based on progress and preference.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options allow scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations while keeping the focus on practical strategies and personal goals.
