Erin Arney, LPCC, LMHC

Erin Arney is a licensed mental health professional with 10 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and sees clients from Kentucky. Erin aims to create an affirming space where people feel heard and respected as they begin work on their goals.

Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods with attention to relationships and values. Erin draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to focus on connection and the therapy relationship itself.

Sessions often begin by clarifying what the client wants to achieve and building small, manageable steps toward those goals. Erin emphasizes skills you can try between meetings, like grounding, mindful noticing, and communication techniques. She pays attention to stressors coming from family systems, past attachment wounds, and life transitions.

Erin has worked in clinical and community settings over the last decade, which informs a practical, down-to-earth style. She aims to be transparent about how therapy proceeds and invites questions about options and pacing. People who prefer a collaborative therapist who balances skill teaching with empathic listening often find this approach helpful.

To start, she asks clients to share their concerns and goals so they can build a tailored plan together. The focus is on steady, workable changes that fit daily life and personal values.

How Erin's approaches translate to online sessions

Erin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's goals guide the work.

Choosing a best-fit approach is a team effort. Erin will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest options and adjust as you go. The plan can include skills practice, values clarification, and time spent looking at relationship patterns based on what you need.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, keeping appointments without travel, and having shorter check-ins when needed. If you want a focus on skills, sessions can include practice and homework to use between meetings. Erin supports clients who want practical tools and relational work and will help make sessions fit daily life.
