About Erin

Erin Byrnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and major life transitions. She emphasizes trauma recovery and coping strategies while also addressing relationship and family concerns, anger, and mood-related issues.

Background and approach

Her work includes attention to attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, codependency, and communication challenges that often underlie emotional struggle. In sessions she cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings.

Erin blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based perspectives, emotionally-focused approaches, EMDR for trauma processing, and mindfulness practices to match each person’s needs. She aims to empower clients to identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Erin holds LPC licensure and practices from Washington while accepting clients from other regions who seek support with the issues noted above.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often focuses on skills for managing anxiety, mood, and impulsivity. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early bonds influence current relationships, which can be helpful for communication problems, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. Additionally, she draws on EMDR for processing trauma-related memories when appropriate, offering a structured approach to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic material.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and symptoms, then tailors techniques over time rather than relying on a single method. Together the client and therapist decide which combination of strategies feels most helpful and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations. These formats allow Erin to deliver the same therapeutic tools and skills training used in person while accommodating different comfort levels and lifestyles.
