About Erin

Erin Arney is a licensed mental health clinician with over 10 years of experience working in clinical and community settings.

Background and approach

She brings an integrative perspective that attends to emotional, relational, and practical aspects of well-being, and she works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, family conflict, and major life transitions. Erin emphasizes collaboration, aiming to help clients develop practical skills while also exploring deeper patterns that influence thoughts, feelings, and relationships.

Her approach blends evidence-based strategies and relational work, drawing on Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and cognitive-behavioral skills. Erin frames therapy as a process of increasing self-understanding and flexibility, and she tailors methods to each person’s needs and goals.

She practices in Kentucky and holds LPCC and LMHC credentials, bringing a respectful, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and prioritizing an environment where clients can feel heard and supported.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Erin uses Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and compassionately relate to different parts of themselves, promoting internal dialogue and healing for issues like shame, self-criticism, and relational patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding and improving relational patterns by exploring early attachment experiences and current relationship dynamics to support healthier connections and boundary setting.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions, adjusting methods as needs evolve. This partnership helps ensure the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Kentucky without commuting, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on the work that matters most.
