About Erin
Erin Borden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the ups and downs of parenting. Erin aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear for someone who is worried and unsure.
Erin focuses on practical tools and steady support. She helps people handle life changes, manage panic or intense worry, and rebuild motivation and confidence.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to small shifts that make daily life easier. She also addresses caregiver strain, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Communication patterns and control issues are common topics in sessions, alongside struggles with forgiveness and impulsivity.
Erin pays attention to how everyday routines affect mood and coping. Clients can expect a collaborative tone where their experience guides the work. Erin treats each person as the expert on their life while offering observations and concrete strategies.
She encourages small experiments between sessions to build new habits. Erin practices in California and conducts therapy in English. Her approach is aimed at parents and adults who want practical changes rather than long, abstract discussions.
The focus is on clarity, steady progress, and restoring a sense of confidence in day-to-day life.
What Erin works with
Everything Erin lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Erin helps people with.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Erin uses evidence-based techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with panic, worry, and self-doubt. Another approach centers on building routines and short behavioral experiments to increase motivation and manage stress, which can be useful for parenting strain and workplace pressure.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts tools over time based on what is working and what feels meaningful to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone can be simpler when bandwidth or mobility is a concern, live chat provides quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives while keeping the focus on practical change.
