Erin Taylor, LCPC

Erin Taylor is an LCPC - a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - based in Illinois with two decades of experience. She returned to Illinois after practicing in Arizona for nearly ten years and combines crisis work with outpatient therapy. Erin focuses on clear, direct support for common and complex problems so people can move forward in daily life.

Her work is warm and straightforward. She uses empathy, a calm presence, and occasional light humor to put people at ease. Sessions focus on what matters now and on building practical skills that make a difference between visits.

Erin draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work. She tailors plans to each person and treats the therapy relationship as a team effort. That means agreeing on goals and checking progress along the way.

Her background includes crisis intervention, outpatient therapy, work with shelters and hospitals, and experience with substance use and probation systems. She has supported people coping with trauma, abuse, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and mood concerns.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, concrete strategies, and guidance on handling stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Erin aims to help people feel heard, build useful tools, and carry skills into everyday life.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Erin uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what matters most to each person. That means conversations start from the client's goals and the therapist listens to understand priorities and experiences.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people try small changes, test what works, and reduce unhelpful patterns for issues like anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will help a client choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adapts strategies over time when something isn’t working.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, require less travel, and allow brief check-ins when time is limited. It can also support consistent progress through regular meetings and homework between sessions. Licensed professionals help people adapt tools learned in online sessions to daily life and routines.
