About Erin
Erin Weekes is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in South Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses parenting strain, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and family of origin issues.
Erin frames clients as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She prefers clear, direct conversation and works to help clients notice patterns that come from their upbringing and current relationships.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means sessions may include noticing thoughts and behaviors, clarifying values, and practicing small behavior changes. She uses ordinary language rather than jargon so people can apply ideas quickly in daily life.
Erin has supported clients dealing with adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and blended family issues. She also helps with abandonment worries, body image and eating related concerns, and communication or control problems that trace back to family roles.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process that looks at patterns from childhood alongside current stresses. The work aims to create manageable steps for handling difficult moments and improving everyday functioning.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and identifying personal values to guide choices. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what the client brings, helping people clarify their goals and feel heard while they sort through family patterns or relationship issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and behavior changes related to family of origin issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling to appointments. Therapists and licensed professionals can help shape a plan that fits everyday life and commitments.
