About Erin
Erin Plachko is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Erin also focuses on issues such as divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love.
She began her career in community mental health in the Denver area. Early work included helping families and then supporting adults with severe and persistent mental illness. That background gave her experience with high-intensity needs and practical skills for steadying people through hard periods.
Erin uses evidence-based practices in session. Examples named in her biography include cognitive-behavioral approaches, solution-focused work, and motivational interviewing. She blends these methods with attention to each person's spiritual and emotional concerns when clients bring that up.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable steps. Erin helps people talk through difficult emotions, understand patterns, and try out new responses. She aims to help clients build resilience and practical strategies to manage day-to-day challenges that follow major life changes.
Outside clinical work she stays active with cycling, gardening, reading, travel, and family life. She mentions involvement in her church community and being a busy sports parent, interests that inform how she understands routines, priorities, and life transitions.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Erin uses several evidence-based techniques in her work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. Solution-focused methods emphasize small, practical goals and steps that can produce measurable change in daily life. Motivational interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change when motivation feels mixed or uncertain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Erin works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts direction as sessions reveal what is most helpful and practical for each person.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when life gets busy.
