About Erin
Erin Spensley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings six years of clinical experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. Her work often focuses on anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable.
Erin creates an affirming space for LGBTQ+ people and young adults. She listens for what matters most and builds clear goals with each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on small changes that make daily life easier. She uses a mix of approaches including Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early connection styles, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thinking patterns. Erin also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation is a concern.
These methods are used together to match the needs of each person. Clients can expect direct communication and concrete tools. Erin often uses skill practice between sessions and checks in on progress regularly.
She talks plainly about coping strategies for sleep, eating, anger, or stress so people can try them right away. Her focus areas also include grief, addiction challenges, parenting strain, ADHD, career stress, and body image. Erin works with people who want coaching alongside therapy, and those navigating life transitions or compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and take place through online formats.

Online support
Using Relationship and Attachment Approaches Online
Erin often integrates the Gottman Method perspective to notice interaction patterns and improve communication. That approach focuses on practical steps to reduce conflict and build clearer ways of talking about needs and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work, helping people understand how early relationships shape current responses and closeness with others. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens, making space for each person's experience and priorities.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so sessions can fit into a busy life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are practical for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options aim to make consistent work on relationship patterns, attachment concerns, anxiety, and mood more reachable for people across Wisconsin.
