Seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and choosing the right therapist is an important step. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported — without judgment. I believe meaningful change happens through a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My experience in private practice and community mental health has allowed me to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and concerns related to identity and self-worth.

My therapeutic style is empowering, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I tailor treatment to each person because no two stories are the same. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and deepen self-awareness, while also exploring underlying emotions and past experiences that shape your present challenges.

I work with adults, couples, and families. My areas of focus include anxiety and chronic stress, depression and mood concerns, trauma and PTSD, relationship and attachment issues, life transitions, self-esteem, identity development, burnout, and compassion fatigue. I strive to provide an inclusive, affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds and lived experiences.

Clients often describe me as approachable, thoughtful, and grounded.

Outside of work, I value time with family, traveling, fitness, creativity, and continued personal growth. I believe in practicing the same self-awareness and balance that I encourage in my clients.

Erin Baker

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hey, I’m Erin. I’m a therapist who believes you don’t have to hit rock bottom to deserve support and you definitely don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

With over a decade of experience, I help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for change get clearer, feel more grounded, and move forward with intention. My approach is direct but compassionate; I’ll hold space for you, but I’ll also gently challenge you when it matters.

Therapy with me is a mix of real conversation, practical tools, and meaningful reflection. You can expect honesty, warmth, and a space where you can be fully yourself....no filters needed.

I earned my Masters of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and my Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida.
