Erin Eiland , LPCC

Erin Eiland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed in California with eight years of clinical experience serving children, teens, adults, and families. She has worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families involved in foster care and adoption, providing individual therapy, family therapy, and crisis support both in the home and at school.

Erin has experience addressing a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger management, and relationship challenges. Her practice also includes work with parenting and blended family issues, attachment concerns, and other areas that commonly arise in foster care and adoption settings.

Her approach is client-centered and strength-based, with a focus on practical, solution-oriented strategies tailored to each person’s values, interests, and goals. She frequently incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and may use art-based activities or interventions when they suit a client’s needs. Erin adapts sessions to match individual preferences and remains flexible in how therapeutic work is carried out to best support each client.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erin draws from client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the person's goals and values shape the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client to discover their own strengths and solutions.

She also commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. In contexts involving disrupted attachment or foster and adoptive families, attachment-based techniques help examine relational patterns and build safer, more secure connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works together with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy in her practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, parenting responsibilities, and varied comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to access consistent care across locations and life transitions while allowing therapists and clients to focus on effective, goal-oriented work.
