About Erin
Erin Beskid is an LCPC licensed in Montana and Maryland with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, career questions, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues around life purpose. Erin also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and those exploring identity within LGBT contexts.
Erin began working with how thought and performance interact during sport and activity. That practical entry led her to work with people recovering from injury, youth, and clients in crisis. She has experience in coaching, using biofeedback and physiological approaches for stress and anxiety, and teaching at high school and university levels.
Her approach is skills focused and pragmatic. She uses coping skills alongside cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior tools. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing also appear when they fit the situation. Sessions emphasize building strengths and learning concrete strategies to handle stress and impulsivity.
Erin describes herself as straightforward and patient. She combines practical exercises with theory when it helps. She adapts methods to each person's needs rather than following a single formula. That includes attention to attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and challenges related to autism and alternative sexual cultures.
People who come to Erin often want clear tools and direction after a change in work, relationships, or health. She encourages looking at what already works and adding skills to move forward. To begin, readers are invited to review online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Erin uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking steps that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it can help when people are unsure what direction to take after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete coping skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when impulsivity or strong reactions are a concern.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may combine elements from ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the situation rather than using a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use tools learned in session in real time where they live and work. If you want to explore how these approaches translate to remote sessions, complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial meeting and discuss format details.
