About Erin
Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky who uses attachment-based ideas in therapy. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Erin works in a person-centered way and emphasizes each client's strengths and goals.
Erin frames sessions so the client directs the conversation while she offers guidance and tools. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered techniques to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions often include clear skills practice and straightforward explanations. Her background includes graduate degrees in counseling psychology and philosophy from the University of Kentucky. Over ten years of practice, she has worked with people facing trauma, burnout, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and challenges linked to neurodiversity and sexual diversity.
This experience informs how she adapts approaches for different needs. Erin aims to reduce stigma and help clients notice patterns that get in the way of their goals. She uses psychoeducation alongside therapeutic work so people understand what they are doing and why.
That combination helps clients build practical ways to cope and move forward. Sessions are 45 minutes and available by phone, video call, chat, or text messaging. Appointments fall on weekdays, generally between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and scheduling is arranged through the platform's dashboard.

Online support
How attachment ideas and ACT work online
Erin uses attachment-based ideas to notice how past relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand closeness, boundaries, and emotional responses in everyday life. It can be useful for improving communication and managing intimacy-related concerns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on values, present-moment awareness, and making space for difficult feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals. Clients often use ACT techniques for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She listens to what matters to the client, reviews goals, and adjusts methods to fit individual needs and strengths. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to change course.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, focused conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support between-session check-ins, quick coaching, or written reflections that some clients find easier to process. All formats make it simpler to schedule sessions around work and daily life, offering flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on progress and goals.
