About Erin
Erin Chilelli is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common life stresses and relationship strains, including anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and anger. Her practice also includes support for career concerns, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
Erin focuses on straightforward, practical conversations that help people manage overwhelming feelings. She listens for how stress and resentment show up day to day, then helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are aimed at clarifying goals and testing small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her background includes work with issues tied to family systems, adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, and pregnancy or postpartum transitions. She also supports people navigating divorce or separation, fertility and women's health related concerns, and challenges common to young adults.
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions rather than relying on a single method. Her approach balances practical coaching with clinical insight to address trauma, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles when these come up. Discussions typically move between skills practice and processing difficult emotions.
People who come for help with intimacy problems, relationship tension, or ongoing anger will find focused attention on communication and self-regulation. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site's matching process to schedule a first session and map out next steps.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques guide online work
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear strategies and skills practice. One commonly used approach involves teaching practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing, pacing, and short behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity. These methods help people test small changes and notice what works in daily life.Another frequent focus is communication and emotion-regulation work that teaches ways to express needs without escalating into anger. This includes concrete rehearsal of phrases, timing, and boundary-setting alongside reflection on triggers. These strategies are useful for relationship tension, intimacy issues, and workplace frustration.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions reflect their priorities and pace of change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how to structure sessions to fit your schedule and needs.
