Erin Taylor, LCPC

Erin Taylor is an Illinois LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 20 years of practice across Arizona and Illinois. She has worked in crisis intervention and outpatient settings and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting, LGBT issues, anger, and coping with life changes. Erin draws on long experience helping people manage practical problems and emotional fallout from trauma and loss.

Before returning to Illinois Erin practiced for nearly a decade in Arizona. Her background includes internships at a shelter serving women affected by domestic violence and sexual assault, and at a substance abuse program. She has worked alongside schools, foster care services, emergency rooms, police and fire departments, psychiatric hospitals, and probation services.

Erin describes a collaborative, respectful working style. She uses straightforward conversation, some humor when appropriate, and aims to make sessions useful and clear. Her work emphasizes listening first, then introducing tools people can try between visits.

Clinical methods she uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed practices. These help with managing thoughts and behaviors, grounding in difficult moments, and setting small achievable steps.

She has experience addressing abandonment, foster care and adoption concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance concerns, family problems, fatherhood issues, fertility and infidelity struggles, veteran-related matters, and mood disorders. Erin conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients.
