Erin Murphy

Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and questions about career and life purpose. Erin also supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

Erin trained in counseling psychology and holds graduate degrees from the University of Kentucky. Her background also includes a master’s in philosophy, which informs how she talks about meaning and values in day-to-day life. She describes her practice as person-centered and non-directive, so clients help set the agenda for sessions.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a foundation and draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques when useful. Attachment-based ideas are part of her work with relationship and family of origin issues. In sessions she combines psychoeducation with hands-on skills so people can try different approaches between meetings.

Erin has focused continuing education in neurodiversity and provides services that are affirming of LGBT identities, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and consensual non-monogamy. She also lists additional focuses such as chronic pain and disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, and codependency concerns.

Sessions are 45 minutes long and available by phone, video, or chat on weekdays. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire through the scheduling dashboard and then book a first session to see how the working relationship feels.

How Erin blends evidence-based approaches in online sessions

Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about meaning or life purpose.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships influence current connection and communication patterns. This approach can help with relationship strain, family of origin issues, and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will discuss options and adjust techniques based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She treats that choice as collaborative rather than fixed at the start.

Sessions are offered in 45-minute blocks by phone, video, or chat according to her biography. Confirm the exact session formats and scheduling details before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or not depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt skills-based exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical tools can be practiced between meetings.
