Erin Goddard, LCSW

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and parenting concerns, addiction questions, career stress, and self-esteem struggles. Erin lists aging and geriatric issues among her focuses and works with people navigating caregiving and health-related transitions.

Erin uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Conversations focus on small changes that fit into daily life. Goals are set together and checked each step of the way.

Her style is respectful and direct. Erin treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them find workable strategies. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and attention to values and priorities.

Erin has seven years of experience as an LCSW practicing in Texas. She has worked with people facing bereavement, major life adjustments, caregiving strain, and mood concerns. That background informs how she supports people through periods of loss and change.

To begin, Erin asks clients to identify a few clear goals. From there she helps create a plan with doable steps. Her approach emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she encourages practical tools clients can use between sessions.

How Erin’s approaches fit into online therapy

Erin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness ideas. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than following a fixed script.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or between appointments. Different approaches can be adapted for remote work - for example, CBT homework and ACT exercises translate well to short, focused sessions and mindfulness practices can be guided in real time. Licensed professionals can help tailor session pacing and tools so therapy fits day-to-day routines.
