Erin Smokovich Dorflinger, LCSW

As a licensed therapist in New York, Connecticut, and California, I bring a diverse skill set to my practice, drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfulness-Based strategies, Trauma-Informed care, and more. Together, we’ll uncover your inherent strengths, build resilience, and take practical steps toward achieving your goals with confidence and clarity. I work with individuals across all stages of life, from teens to adults, offering a safe and supportive space to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, parental stress, and relationship issues. Whether you’re navigating a specific obstacle or simply looking to enhance your well-being, I’m here to support you every step of the way. In our work together, I focus on what you can achieve, not just the challenges you face. We’ll work collaboratively to create a personalized plan that reflects your values and goals, focusing on the progress you’re making and the steps that will get you closer to living a life that feels fulfilling and authentic. I believe in celebrating progress, no matter how small, and equipping you with tools and insights that support your growth long after therapy ends. Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage and an important decision. I would be honored to support you on this journey. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, explore possibilities, and work toward a future that is hopeful, empowering, and aligned with the best version of yourself.
