About Erin

Erin Hawkinson is an Oklahoma-licensed LPC with 18 years of clinical experience who works with people seeking calmer, more satisfying daily lives and relationships.

Background and approach

She helps clients address concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, and substance-related struggles, tailoring care to each persons needs and goals. Erin uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the client's perspective while drawing from evidence-informed methods.

Her background includes training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, hypnosis, and neurolinguistic programming, and she incorporates approaches like Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and CBT depending on the presenting concerns. This flexible mix supports practical coping skills, more adaptive patterns, and increased emotional awareness.

Based in Oklahoma, Erin focuses on creating a calm, respectful therapeutic environment where clients can explore personal history, attachment patterns, and behavior change strategies. She offers multiple remote session formats to fit varied schedules and preferences, and matches interventions to what each person hopes to achieve.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Erin draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and relate to different parts of themselves, encouraging curiosity about inner roles and wounds so people can shift from reactive patterns to more balanced self-leadership. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to build psychological flexibility by clarifying values and developing skills to act toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns rooted in early bonds, supporting healthier connections and improved emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Erin collaborates with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining practical skill-building with reflective work to address symptoms and underlying relational or internal dynamics.

Online therapy with Erin includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access that fits busy lives. These remote options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, practice skills between meetings, and receive ongoing support from a licensed professional without requiring travel.
