About Erin
Erin Spensley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma. Erin aims to make therapy welcoming for LGBTQ+ people and for adults working through life changes.
Erin spends time getting to know each person and what matters most to them. She uses clear, practical ways to work on things like communication, self-esteem, sleep, and coping with grief. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused so people leave with concrete steps they can try between visits.
Her approach pulls from several methods, including attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, supports clients in naming their values, and helps change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
Erin has six years of experience helping adults navigate challenges such as addiction, ADHD, intimacy concerns, and career stress. She also addresses niche topics like kink and alternative sex culture, blended family questions, caregiving strain, and body image struggles.
People who choose Erin often want a practical, collaborative style. She helps clients set achievable goals and build skills for everyday life. To begin, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior. In online sessions this can look like talking through relationship histories, noticing recurring patterns, and practicing new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and letting the client's experience guide the work; online meetings provide a consistent space to be heard and reflected back. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them, such as trying new behaviors between sessions or tracking thoughts during the week.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus more on skills, insight, or relationship patterns as therapy proceeds.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help people keep consistent visits around work or family demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or permit sessions where being on camera is optional to reduce fatigue. Ask about specific session formats when you begin the matching process to find what fits your routine.
