About Erin
Erin Spensley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She has six years of clinical experience helping people who feel stuck by worry, grief, or big life changes. Erin emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach so people can speak plainly about what matters to them.
Her work often focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She also supports people managing addiction, bipolar symptoms, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She makes space for LGBT clients and those coping with trauma or major transitions. Erin blends Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered listening and practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches. That mix helps people understand patterns in their relationships and try small changes that make daily life easier.
She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and communication work influenced by the Gottman method. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Erin helps clients set manageable steps, practice new ways of coping, and track what’s working.
She pays attention to how past connections affect present choices and helps people build more reliable ways of relating. People who prefer straightforward guidance with empathy tend to fit well with her style. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs.
New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based care online
Erin commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice and change patterns in how they relate to others. This approach looks at early and current relationship patterns and helps people build more supported ways of connecting. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy which prioritizes empathetic listening and meeting each person where they are. That approach helps people feel heard while they work toward their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for practical steps to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking, such as setting experiments and practicing new behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs and preferences. Together the client and therapist set goals, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between sessions or use a written format that feels easier for them. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
