About Erin

Erin Byrnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes. She offers calm, straightforward support for people who are overwhelmed by emotions or stuck in repetitive patterns. Many come to work through relationship strain, family conflict, anger, or feelings of shame and abandonment.

Her sessions focus on building trust and clear communication. Erin aims to create a space where people can name painful feelings and try new ways of responding.

Background and approach

She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients develop practical tools to manage mood, impulsivity, and daily challenges. Erin draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships still shape reactions today. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally focused ideas to strengthen closeness and expression.

Other methods she brings into work include mindfulness practices and EMDR for trauma-related material. Clients can expect a collaborative, paced approach that mixes talking, skill practice, and reflection. Erin supports steps like quitting smoking or managing postpartum mood changes with concrete plans and check-ins.

She works with people who want both short-term relief and longer-term change. Erin is licensed to practice in multiple states and sees clients from Washington. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Online support

Attachment and evidence-based care online

Erin often combines Attachment-Based Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build safer, more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas in sessions to help people express and process emotions in a way that strengthens connection and clarity. These approaches can be used together so the therapist and client choose what fits the issue and the person’s goals.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. Erin works collaboratively to decide which methods to try, adjusting choices based on what helps most. Clients and therapist set goals together and check progress as they go.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days or to use brief, ongoing contact between sessions.
