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!

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!

Erin has been extremely helpful to me and accommodating. I feel like she understands where I am coming from and provides great rational advice.

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 !!!!

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.

Erin has been a joy to work with. Her responses are always thoughtful and insightful, and she seems to know exactly what I need to hear. I have grown and learned so much through working with her. She responds promptly to all my messages. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to talk!
