About Erin
Erin Uphoff is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who centers sessions on the client. She brings eight years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety and tackle parenting and anger concerns. Erin focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. She emphasizes strengths and collaboration in every session.
Many people come to her feeling stuck or uncertain about the next step. Erin listens first to understand each person’s story and priorities. She then works with them to set concrete, achievable goals and to build small habits that support change.
Her approach blends client-centered conversations with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. This combination helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and calm the body when anxiety rises. Solution-focused strategies are used to highlight what is already working and to expand those successes.
Erin has supported people with issues such as self-esteem, motivation, body image, and workplace stress. She also addresses mood concerns, caregiver strain, guilt and shame, and pregnancy or postpartum transitions. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the concerns she lists.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. Erin emphasizes small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. She invites people who are ready to take a step toward more manageable days to explore therapy with her.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Erin combines client-centered listening with practical methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Client-centered therapy means the conversation focuses on the person’s goals and perspective, and the therapist helps guide decisions without taking over. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers tools to test and change those patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, useful for stress and panic.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to see which techniques fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. Goals and preferences guide which strategies are used and how they are practiced between sessions.
