About Erin

Erin Kemp is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and LGBT-related concerns. Erin encourages clients to use their own strengths to face difficult moments and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

Erin’s style centers on listening first and following the person's lead. She views each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set realistic goals. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps that can be tried between meetings and reviewed for what helps.

She uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is chosen to fit the problem at hand - whether it is mood, anxiety, relationship strain, or life change. Erin emphasizes skills that reduce distress and build day-to-day coping.

Over her career she has supported people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, work stress, ADHD concerns, and matters related to adoption and foster care. Erin also helps with intimacy and relationship questions, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She brings a practical, steady presence to sessions.

If you decide to start, she guides clients through small steps and concrete strategies. The aim is to make progress feel doable and to build on what already works in your life.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and building on your strengths. It involves listening without judgment and helping you decide which goals matter most, which can be useful for self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy, often shortened to DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. People often use these techniques for anger, mood swings, or stress that feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will discuss what feels most useful based on your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust plans as you try things out. The process is collaborative, with decisions made together about what to practice and when to change course.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or caregiving and the ability to check in without travel. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
