About Erin

Erin Borden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of professional experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Erin also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose.

Erin approaches work with the assumption that each client knows their own story best. She points out strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to handle difficult moments. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change or understand next.

Clients meet to talk through specific situations, practice new ways of handling them, and reflect on what matters now. Erin supports people working through impulsivity, panic symptoms, workplace struggles, loneliness, and issues related to forgiveness and self-love. She also addresses women's issues when they come up in sessions.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and clear steps rather than vague advice. Clients can expect direct conversation about goals, concrete strategies to try between meetings, and a focus on small, manageable changes. Erin encourages follow-through and checks progress over time.

Erin works in English and is based in California. She does not accept international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online options.

How Erin’s approaches translate to online sessions

Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes identifying current patterns that cause stress or low mood and trying small behavioral changes to shift those patterns. This helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace or parenting stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Another approach centers on building on a person’s existing strengths and resources. Sessions look at what already works in someone’s life and then adapt those strengths to new situations, such as coping with life changes or caregiver strain. This method supports clearer decision making and steadier coping in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She will suggest strategies, review what is or isn’t helping, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and let clients fit short check-ins or longer sessions into busy weeks. It can also reduce travel time and allow people to continue care through transitions while focusing on practical changes.
