Erin Arney, LPCC, LMHC

Erin Arney is a licensed mental health professional with ten years of experience. She practices in Kentucky and supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, family difficulties, and major life changes. Erin aims to make the first steps toward getting help simple and straightforward. Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Erin uses clear language and checks in about goals so people leave sessions with something they can use right away. Erin blends several evidence-informed approaches rather than relying on a single method. She draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to help people spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindful and acceptance-based ideas are used to help people relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based work is included when relationships and early patterns are part of the concern. Dialectical behavior therapy skills can be introduced to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance strategies. The overall aim is to build coping skills and increase a person’s sense of agency. Practically, the early sessions focus on understanding current struggles and priorities. Erin and the person set short-term goals and review what felt helpful each week. That ongoing feedback shapes how therapy moves forward and keeps the work relevant to everyday life.
