About Erin Welsh
Erin Welsh is a Maryland-licensed counselor who combines extensive experience with a collaborative, strengths-based approach to help individuals and families reach their goals. Holding MD and LCPC credentials - MD indicating a Doctor of Medicine and LCPC denoting a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - she draws on years of training to tailor care for children, adolescents, adults, caregivers, and those growing their families.
Her practice emphasizes working together to identify personal strengths, clarify meaningful goals, and map practical steps for change. Erin uses an eclectic mix of therapeutic techniques chosen to fit each person’s unique situation, with a focus on building self-esteem, reducing unhelpful self-talk, and learning constructive ways to view challenges.
She has treated a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career stress, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and attention-deficit concerns. When working with young children, sometimes as young as four, Erin prioritizes parent involvement and may integrate individual and family sessions or include siblings so the whole family can participate in support and growth.
Cognitive-behavioral strategies are used to address negative self-talk and foster more adaptive thinking patterns, and she incorporates multisensory and tactile approaches when appropriate for younger clients. Erin offers messaging and live messaging services along with occasional phone sessions, and she checks in Monday through Friday to maintain ongoing contact with those she supports.
Erin approaches each case as distinct and works to create a therapeutic plan that matches the individual’s needs and potential. She looks forward to supporting clients as they move toward positive change and greater resilience.
