About Erin
Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. She also supports issues around relationships, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with major life transitions. Erin writes plainly and works with practical steps so parents and individuals can start feeling steadier.
Erin draws on seven years of experience in social work to guide conversations toward clear goals.
Background and approach
She centers the person in the room and treats people as experts on their own lives. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with the therapist offering observations and options rather than directives. Her methods include cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas that focus on shifting unhelpful thoughts and increasing meaningful actions.
Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice patterns and calm strong emotions. Motivational interviewing can help when making difficult changes feels overwhelming. Erin helps clients break big problems into smaller, doable steps.
She uses narrative and client-centered work to examine the stories people tell themselves and find new ways to move forward. Practical tools, short experiments, and skill-building are common parts of sessions. Erin sees people in Texas and works with international clients in English.
She guides people through coaching-style work as well as traditional therapy topics. The goal is steady progress rather than overnight fixes, with simple next steps after each meeting.

Approaches that fit your schedule
Erin frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values even when difficult feelings show up. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, and decisions about parenting or life change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to build concrete coping skills for depression, anxiety, and relationship stress. Client-centered work keeps the focus on each persons priorities and lived experience while the therapist listens and reflects rather than leads.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin will talk with clients about their goals, try small techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. That collaborative discovery helps tailor sessions to individual needs and preferences.
Online therapy lets people fit care into busy lives. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief reflections, progress notes, and ongoing coaching-style support between longer sessions. Together these options offer flexibility and a range of ways to stay connected to a licensed professional.
