My name is Erin Lewis, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed to practice in both Missouri and Illinois. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, specializing in Clinical Practice with Individual and Families. I've worked in many different settings in different states with individuals and families who have a variety of concerns/issues including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, stress, family/ parental conflict, trauma/abuse, substance abuse/dependence, life transitions etc. Over the past 13 years as a social worker, my main focus and priority is to meet my clients and families where they are at in their therapeutic journey and that a trusting relationships and strong rapport are the most crucial aspects of helping others to reach their goals. I believe we can all benefit from therapy/counseling services to not just process stressors or problems but also the day to day life we all experience. It would be a privilege to be that person for you. I believe in and practice with all my clients and families the importance of being open-minded and non-judgmental regardless of the circumstances or topics being address/discussed.
As your therapist I will be readily available to you numerous times throughout the day and even more so via messaging on nights and weekends. Please reach out to me regardless if a potential time conflict appears on my availability and I will work to make your availability and time a priority.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
