About Erin
Erin Chilelli is a licensed clinical social worker who brings ten years of practice to clients in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Erin values clear, respectful conversation and works to create a supportive space for practical problem solving.
Her approach centers on listening first and then shaping therapy to each person’s needs. She helps people sort through family conflict, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the fallout from trauma or loss.
Background and approach
She also addresses career strain, compassion fatigue, and the unique pressures parents face. Erin supports people navigating major life changes such as divorce, adoption and foster care transitions, fertility concerns, and postpartum difficulties. She offers guidance around self-esteem, anger, and finding direction after a major life shift.
Her work includes coaching-style conversations when clients want concrete steps and plans. Clients meet through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and vary in cost with location and therapist availability.
Erin holds a New York LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and clear goals. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving strategies that can be used between sessions. Another approach centers on processing grief and trauma through paced conversation and strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Erin listens to a person’s story, discusses options, and adjusts methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to try approaches and tunes the plan as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and real-time interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat offer quick check-ins, written reflections, and flexibility for parents or people with tight schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and stay connected between appointments.
