About Erin

Dr. Erin Armour helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, sleep difficulties, addiction concerns, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and the challenges of major life changes. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and those coping with chronic illness or pain. Dr. Armour works with individuals seeking practical skills and clearer direction.

She is a Tennessee psychologist with the credential TN Psychologist 3140 and about 11 years of clinical experience. In sessions she aims for a conversational, respectful tone that keeps goals in view. Conversations tend to focus on real-life steps rather than abstract theory.

Her approach mixes several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy invites people to clarify values and take committed steps toward them. Attachment-based ideas are used when relational patterns and past connections shape current difficulties.

Dr. Armour describes her style as warm and compassionate while staying goal-oriented. She works with each person to create an individualized plan that fits their needs and priorities. Sessions often include practical strategies, short-term skill building, and attention to longer-term meaning and relationships.

People who choose her can expect collaborative planning, straightforward language, and tools they can practice between sessions. The focus is on what can change now and how to sustain those changes over time.

How different approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting controlled by them and then take actions that match their values; it can help with stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, which can help when relationship issues or attachment concerns arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily realities. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so people can use therapy during a lunch break or between obligations. Some formats may allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if someone prefers that. Confirm the specific session options before booking to know what formats are available with this therapist.
