About Erin
Erin Welsh is a licensed counselor and medical doctor who brings 15 years of experience to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She practices in Maryland and works with adults, adolescents, caregivers, and parents who want practical tools and clearer direction. Her style is direct and collaborative, focused on small steps that add up to meaningful change.
Erin starts by identifying a person’s strengths and priorities.
Background and approach
She helps set concrete goals and breaks those goals into manageable actions. Sessions often include cognitive-behavioral strategies to challenge negative self-talk and build healthier habits. Her approach draws on a mix of methods rather than a single technique.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values, and she applies attachment-based ideas when relationships and family patterns come up. Dialectical and client-centered principles also shape how she guides emotional regulation and communication skills. Erin has experience addressing ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, body image, and eating or sleeping problems.
She also supports people coping with life changes such as divorce, career shifts, or caregiver stress. When working with younger clients, she includes parents and sometimes siblings to support progress at home. For online work Erin offers messaging and live chat plus occasional phone sessions during weekdays.
She encourages clients to view therapy as a team process and focuses on teaching skills people can use between meetings.

Online support
Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Erin commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are difficult, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT breaks patterns of unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change behavior and mood, useful for things like negative self-talk, sleep problems, and coping with stress.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Erin will talk with each person about goals, what has worked before, and what feels most comfortable. Together they adjust techniques over time so the sessions match real-life needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, share progress, or use brief coaching during a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
