About Erin

Erin Beskid, LCPC, helps people who feel stuck by focusing on practical skills and steady progress. She emphasizes strengths and small changes that add up. Her tone is direct but warm, aimed at people looking for clear tools to handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Erin came to mental health through sport and performance work, so she often uses activity-based examples and goal-oriented coaching. Over 15 years she has blended clinical counseling with performance coaching, teaching, and physiological techniques like biofeedback to address stress and anxiety. She uses this mix to help people notice what works for them.

Her sessions tend to be skills-based, drawing on coping skills, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people move from thinking about change to taking action. Erin is direct when needed and keeps sessions practical and focused on usable tools.

She has worked with people facing addiction, ADHD, career questions, relationship struggles, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns within LGBTQ contexts. Additional interests include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, kink and alternative sex culture, and first responder concerns. These areas inform how she tailors plans to fit each person’s goals.

Erin holds an LCPC licensed in Montana and Maryland and practices from Maryland. She values steady effort and respects that growth is often a long-term process. She invites people to consider whether her practical, strengths-focused style fits what they need.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, self esteem struggles, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills building.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will work with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. She adapts strategies from ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as needed rather than following a single method rigidly.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. That said, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it simpler to use mindfulness exercises, homework review, and structured skill practice in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can often tailor session length and focus to match daily life and immediate challenges, helping tools learned in sessions transfer to real situations.
