About Erin
Erin Saxer supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers steady guidance while people learn ways to cope and regain a sense of control. Erin speaks plainly and focuses on small, practical steps that add up to real change.
Erin sees clients as the experts in their own lives. She looks for existing strengths to build on and helps people apply those strengths to current problems.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and doable actions rather than long lists of theory. Over 18 years of practice in Montana, Erin has worked with people coping with panic attacks, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps with communication problems, issues around pregnancy and childbirth, and women's health concerns.
Her background gives her experience across a wide range of life challenges. Erin holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and is also credentialed as an LCPC. She blends practical support with steady listening so clients can try different ways of coping and see what helps.
Many people begin by setting one or two small goals. Erin then checks in weekly and adjusts the plan as needed. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs and daily life.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations - to reduce distress and increase confidence. Another approach centers on trauma recovery and post-traumatic stress, helping people organize their memories, reduce symptom-driven reactions, and build daily routines that feel manageable.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She begins with simple, testable strategies and adjusts the plan as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal feedback, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer to write, want brief updates, or need support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and routines.
