About Erin

Erin Plachko is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self esteem, and depression. She draws on seven years of clinical experience to offer steady support and practical steps toward change. Erin aims to help clients name what matters, feel less stuck, and build clearer next steps for daily life.

Erin began her career in community mental health in the Denver area. She worked with families and later with adults managing severe and persistent mental illness. That background shaped a down-to-earth approach that mixes practical tools with attention to each person’s beliefs and values.

Her practice blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused methods, and motivational interviewing. Erin also makes space for clients who prefer Christian-informed counseling, and she draws on a holistic view of emotional and spiritual needs. Sessions focus on understanding current struggles, processing difficult feelings, and trying small changes that build confidence over time.

Erin emphasizes collaborative work. She offers empathy, clear guidance, and concrete skills so people can move toward goals like better self-love, healthier relationships, and renewed life purpose. She also helps people cope with divorce, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and related concerns.

Outside of therapy she stays active - cycling, gardening, reading, traveling, and spending time with family and church. Those interests inform a practical, energetic style in the room that values real-life progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Erin often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods break problems into manageable parts and teach practical skills that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better decision making.

She also uses solution-focused approaches that emphasize small, achievable steps. These methods help clients identify goals, recognize what is already working, and build momentum with short-term actions. Motivational interviewing is another tool she applies to help people resolve mixed feelings and strengthen motivation for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each person to find methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
