About Erin

Erin Arney is a licensed mental health professional with 10 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She holds the LPCC credential and the LMHC credential and practices from Kentucky. Erin aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Her style is grounded in mindfulness and practical coping skills. Sessions focus on noticing what matters most to the client and building small, doable habits. Erin blends approaches so conversations stay relevant to daily life rather than only theoretical ideas.

Erin also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work when clients want structured tools and clearer steps. Together these approaches help with family issues, communication problems, self-esteem, and managing chronic health or pain concerns.

She brings a trauma-aware perspective and attention to cultural and racial identity without making assumptions. Early sessions usually map out immediate goals and practical strategies. Ongoing work adapts as needs shift, with the client’s priorities guiding each step.

People who choose Erin often want a calm, direct therapist who emphasizes present-moment awareness and real-world skills. If you want straightforward support for coping, changing habits, or navigating a major life change, she helps people make steady progress.

How mindfulness and values work online

Erin uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them, which can reduce reactivity and make choices clearer. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to identify personal values and take small committed actions toward them, useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin treats the selection of methods as a collaborative choice based on your goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps and adjust the plan as you learn what feels useful.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists use mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning during conversations in ways that fit everyday routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
