Erin Smith

(LCSW)

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with over 10 years of experience working as a counselor with children, adults, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting stressors, OCD, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. I also helped many individuals who have experienced physical, verbal or emotional abuse as a child or adult.

I would describe my counseling style as empathetic, open, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with upmost respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive behavioral theory, strengths perspective, systems theory, and problem solving approaches. I will adapt each session and interaction to meet your unique and specific needs at that time pulling on various approaches.

I applaud you for reaching out to work through various scenarios in your life. I am available to assist and help you whenever you are ready.

I look forward to working with you!

Written by M.E. on May 12, 2019 after counseling with Erin for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, and self esteem

I believe I wrote a fairly complimentary review of Erin back when I started counseling with her but it just keeps getting better the more we talk. She has great insight on everything I'm dealing with and she always has a cheery disposition (which can be very refreshing when talking about your problems). I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to talk to. She's trustworthy, kind, and respectful.

Erin has been great, she is kind, understanding, and really feels things with you. She's a solid supporter on working through issues, makes you think and piece together items you might not have considered before, and it really helps working through things. I'm extremely grateful for Erin.

Erin has been absolutely amazing so far! She really takes the time to listen and offer suggestions. I’m not always the most responsive right away and she always checks in, which I really appreciate. Thanks, Erin!

I have been working with Erin for quite some time now, and she has been a HUGE help to me during these tough times. It’s definitely a struggle when I have to balance school and work but Erin makes herself as flexible as she can and dedicates her full attention and care towards you during each and every session.

I adore working with Erin! She is so validating and helpful, and truly makes me feel understood and confident. Every contact with her is so uplifting, and I think she could really relate to anyone who needs someone to talk to.

Erin is an extremely empathetic, insightful, and intelligent person. She not only listens, but suggests and proposes ideas and solutions to your problems to help expand your overall perspective of things. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling in a relationship or anything else.

Erin has been a wonderful, compassionate listener. She’s been a great “outlet” for me so far. I would recommend her to anyone seeking someone to listen. I’m only in my first month but I always look forward to my phone calls! Thank you Erin and BetterHelp!

I absolutely love that I can carry my support system with me, she’s has helped me so much in just the little time, just having someone be understanding and actually hearing what I’m saying has made such a difference for me she truly cares and wants to make sure you get what you need out of your experience. This is my first time seeking any kind of help and I was sceptic about it but she has shown me how much it can truly make a difference in your life to talk threw things to an outside source. Thank you so much !!!!

Written by N.A. on Nov 05, 2018 after counseling with Erin for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, and grief

I was very hesitant about getting counseling but Erin made me feel very comfortable within the first few minutes of our session. I feel like she is on my side and genuinely wants to help me. I don’t feel judged at all. I’m in the early stages of working with Erin but I look forward to talking to her weekly and already I feel like a giant weight has been lifted off of me by having her to talk to.

I’ve loved working with Erin until now. She knows how to keep the conversation productive, is completely nonjudgmental, and has helped me a lot in a short time.
