About Erin

Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who brings a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to therapy. They emphasize Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy while integrating cognitive and attachment-based methods to tailor care to each client's needs.

Background and approach

Erin frames sessions around the client’s own expertise about their life, combining psychoeducation with practical methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related life challenges.

With a decade of clinical experience and graduate training in counseling psychology and philosophy from the University of Kentucky, Erin focuses on individualized support that respects neurodiversity and diverse sexual and relationship expressions. Their practice addresses a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, career and sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in multiple online formats so Kentuckians can access care that fits their schedule and goals, and Erin aims to adapt therapeutic techniques to each person's strengths while reducing the impact of stigma and avoidance.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Erin draws on Internal Family Systems to help people explore inner parts and understand how different emotions and self-states interact, which can be useful for working with trauma, relationship patterns, and internal conflict. They also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values, building psychological flexibility, and taking committed action toward meaningful life goals. Attachment-Based Therapy informs their work on relational patterns and how early connections shape current trust, intimacy, and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Erin partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve. The process emphasizes the client's expertise about their life while offering structure and skills when helpful.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access for clients across Kentucky. These formats allow work to continue from home, support ongoing skill practice between sessions, and accommodate different communication styles and comfort levels.
