About Erin

Erin Crymes is a licensed clinical social worker who brings seven years of hands-on therapeutic experience to work with people navigating relationship and family challenges.

Background and approach

As an LCSW and CSW practicing in Georgia, she focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue, while also addressing concerns such as self-esteem, communication problems, guilt and shame, and forgiveness. She frames therapy around the client’s strengths and lived knowledge, inviting clients to explore practical ways to improve connection and emotional wellbeing.

Erin uses a collaborative, person-centered stance that emphasizes understanding each client’s priorities and building strategies that fit their life. Her approach blends Internal Family Systems ideas with cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques, and she draws on motivational and solution-focused methods when clients want targeted change.

Erin encourages those beginning therapy to recognize their courage in reaching out and works to create a supportive process for setting goals, developing new coping skills, and restoring balance amid life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care

Erin often integrates Internal Family Systems with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients explore internal parts and practical thought-behavior patterns. Internal Family Systems invites people to notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity, which can be useful for working through relationship dynamics or self-critical patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which tends to help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible. These formats allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations and choose the communication style that suits their schedule and comfort level.
