About Erin
Erin Weekes is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in South Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, compassion fatigue, parenting challenges, anger, and life changes. Erin values the client's perspective and treats people as the expert on their own story.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most pressing. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Erin draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to help people notice patterns and shift them when needed.
Her background includes years helping people manage work stress and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with trauma, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and the complexities of adoption or foster care. She pays attention to caregiver stress and the particular burnout that can come from compassion fatigue.
In therapy she helps people name what they want to change, spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and try small experiments to test new ways of responding. Conversations are practical and paced to the person’s needs. She encourages modest, sustainable changes rather than big, immediate overhauls.
People who find her approach useful are often looking for clear tools, an honest appraisal of patterns, and help translating insight into manageable next steps. She asks clients to be active participants in setting goals and tracking progress.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and supports taking action toward valued goals. It can help with anger that comes from stuck beliefs or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, letting the person lead while the therapist reflects and clarifies.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Erin works collaboratively to figure out which approach or combination fits a person's goals and preferences. She treats therapy as an active partnership where adjustments are expected as the work progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography did not list specific online options. Many people find remote sessions fit into daily life more easily - they can be shorter check-ins during a workday, avoid travel time, or reduce the need to arrange childcare. Online work can make it simpler to practice new coping skills between meetings and to apply tools directly in real-world settings without a lengthy commute.
