About Erin
LICSW clinician in Massachusetts with 15 years of experience, Erin Dunham focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and family concerns. She helps people who are coping with depression, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and identity issues related to LGBT concerns. Sessions also address ADHD, bipolar concerns, eating issues, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Erin uses practical talk and reflective listening to make sense of what’s happening now. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means some work is skills-based, and some is about understanding patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings.
Her practice includes attention to adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, cancer-related emotional strain, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm concerns. Erin also supports young adult issues and helps people facing family problems. She blends shorter, goal-focused work with deeper, exploratory conversation as needed.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. Clients can expect clear goals, pacing that fits their needs, and discussion of specific strategies between meetings. Erin also uses motivational interviewing techniques when people are weighing change or facing ambivalence.
People who contact her are usually looking for help managing strong emotions, rebuilding relationships, or navigating a major life transition. To start, she asks about the immediate problem and what a useful next step would look like.

How Erin uses evidence-based approaches in remote work
Erin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments; it’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it can help with chronic stress, impulsive behaviors, and ongoing worry.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are weighing change. That method centers on listening for priorities and ambivalence and then guiding small, sustainable steps. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals and try strategies that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
If you plan to work online, confirm current session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adjust session length, homework, and technique to match what works in a remote setting.
