Erin Goddard, LCSW

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and career or parenting concerns. She works with those coping with major life changes, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and the challenges of aging or caregiving. Her tone is warm and encouraging and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.

Erin uses practical, talk-based methods that help people set goals and try small changes. She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide sessions. Conversations focus on what matters to the person and on steps they can try between meetings.

Her background includes seven years of clinical practice in Texas supporting people through divorce, blended family issues, cancer, and other health-related transitions. She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality concerns, and eating or codependency patterns. Erin emphasizes clear, respectful communication and collaborative planning.

Sessions typically cover practical tools for coping with anxiety, grief work that honors what was lost, and strategies to rebuild routine and purpose after big life shifts. She helps people sort out communication problems and commitment or control issues, and she supports parents dealing with the strain of caregiving.

Erin invites clients to identify specific goals and to track progress in small steps. She describes therapy as a team effort where the client’s values guide decisions. The focus is on usable skills, clearer thinking, and steady movement toward the life a person wants.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. It focuses less on eliminating difficult feelings and more on living a meaningful life despite them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical strategies for reducing symptoms and improving daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to build trust and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy and usually happens together. The therapist and client review goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. From there they pick methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works best for the person.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during lunch breaks or between errands. Some approaches like CBT and ACT lend themselves to structured worksheets and between-session exercises that move smoothly into remote sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so clients can use them in daily life.
