About Erin
Erin Dunham is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship difficulties. She also addresses concerns around parenting, grief, eating issues, bipolar mood patterns, and compassion fatigue.
Erin works with people facing trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, attachment problems, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. She supports those coping with family problems and the emotional effects of cancer. Her practice includes attention to self-harm, young adult issues, and concerns common to LGBT people.
Her clinical approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps - identifying patterns, learning new skills, and testing changes in everyday life. She uses conversations and simple exercises rather than clinical jargon.
Erin takes a collaborative stance in sessions. She helps people set clear, manageable goals and checks progress along the way. The work often combines short-term problem solving with attention to deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
People seeking help for anger often come with work stress, family tension, or resentments that have grown over time. Erin aims to help clients notice triggers, try new responses, and reduce the ways anger interferes with relationships and daily life.
How sessions work
How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches steady attention to present-moment experience, which can help lower reactivity and increase awareness of triggers.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own reasons to change. That approach suits people who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. Together these methods aim to balance immediate problem solving with clearer long-term choices, and Erin will work with each person to choose what feels most useful.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow brief check-ins that take less time, or reduce the need to travel. Erin will discuss how to structure sessions to match goals, schedule, and comfort with video or other formats when you arrange the first appointment.
