About Erin
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana and Maryland with 15 years of experience, Erin Beskid helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues related to ADHD and addiction. She also supports people facing career questions, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Erin works in English and practices from Maryland.
Erin uses skill-based methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), dialectical behavior strategies (DBT), mindfulness exercises, acceptance and commitment principles (ACT), and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer thinking patterns, and habits that reduce distress.
Her background began in sport and performance, where she learned how thinking shapes behavior during activity. That led to work in performance coaching, weight loss coaching, biofeedback for stress, and helping people recover from injury. She has also taught at high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, and has experience supporting LGBTQ+ people and those in crisis.
In practice she is direct when needed and keeps work concrete. People can expect skill training, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices alongside conversations about values and life goals. She pays attention to physiological responses and adds techniques that address body-based stress when helpful.
Erin aims to help clients build on strengths and develop tools they can use outside sessions. She adapts methods to each person rather than following a single formula. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work for remote sessions
Erin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based strategies in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments to change reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment attention and simple exercises that reduce reactivity to stress.She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation. DBT techniques include short practical tools for calming down, managing impulses, and improving communication during high-stress moments.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. She collaborates with each client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That might mean emphasizing behavioral experiments for one person and mindfulness practice for another.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins or regular skill-practice between meetings. Therapists can also use guided exercises, homework, and real-time coaching in ways that fit a client’s schedule and needs.
