About Erin
Erin Damato is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and concerns around self-esteem and motivation. Erin also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges connected to ADHD and mood disorders.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She treats clients as experts on their own stories and helps them notice strengths they already have. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and supports people as they try new ways of coping.
Erin has worked across settings that involve addiction and mood concerns, so she brings experience with substance use and motivation to change. She also supports people working through attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and forgiveness or guilt and shame. That background informs how she frames problems and goals in sessions.
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s circumstances. She pays attention to what a client wants to accomplish and focuses on clear, manageable steps. Sessions tend to emphasize practical tools, skill-building, and gradual changes that fit into daily life.
Clients who choose her will follow a process that starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Erin works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical tools and behavior change. For example, cognitive approaches help people notice and test thoughts that contribute to guilt and shame, and then practice alternative ways of thinking. These techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, and self-critical thinking.She also uses motivational-style approaches that focus on building readiness to change behaviors, which can help with addiction, substance use, and making difficult life adjustments. These approaches emphasize small steps and finding reasons that matter to the person.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. They will try methods and adjust them if something is not a good fit, so it becomes a collaborative decision rather than a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that suits the day. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises to work well over remote sessions so that practical skill-building continues between meetings.
