Erin Beskid

Erin Beskid is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana and Maryland with 15 years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck, stressed, or uncertain about work and life direction. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, career doubts, ADHD, addictions, relationship struggles, and questions about life purpose.

Erin started in mental health through sport and performance work. That background shaped her interest in how thinking and physiology affect behavior. Over time she expanded into coaching, working with people recovering from injury, crisis support, LGBTQ concerns, biofeedback for stress, and teaching at high school and university levels.

Her approach is skills-based and practical. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on learning coping strategies, practicing mindfulness, and developing routines that fit daily life.

Erin tends to be direct when needed and uses a strengths-focused way of working. She combines theory and hands-on exercises so people learn tools they can use between sessions. She also pays attention to physiological factors that influence anxiety and stress.

People who want concrete strategies for managing stress, improving self-esteem, or clarifying next steps in work or life often find this approach useful. She encourages realistic, step-by-step change rather than quick fixes. If you want practical coaching alongside talk therapy, her background supports both.

How Erin uses CBT, DBT and mindfulness online

Erin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes to test new ways of coping and decision making.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for building emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT offers step-by-step tools for impulsivity, strong emotions, and relationship communication. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to teach attention and grounding techniques that reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That may mean trying strategies from more than one approach and adjusting them as needs change.
