About Erin
Erin Byrnes, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, anger, and the strain of life changes. She writes short, direct notes and listens closely so clients feel heard. Her approach aims to make daily life more manageable and relationships clearer.
With 20 years of experience, Erin focuses on trauma recovery, low self-esteem, and mood concerns. She supports people dealing with family problems, attachment wounds, abandonment feelings, and codependency.
Background and approach
Practical steps and clearer thinking are combined with attention to underlying emotions. Sessions include talking through current struggles, noticing patterns from the past, and trying new ways of responding. Erin uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and soothe strong feelings.
She also draws on EMDR and attachment work when trauma or relational wounds are present. Erin aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can take small steps toward change. She helps clients set clear goals, practice coping skills, and test new behaviors between sessions.
Progress is paced to each person’s needs and life demands. Erin holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and is based in Washington. She offers conversation, practical strategies, and steady support for people ready to address anger, communication problems, or patterns that keep getting in the way.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Erin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps people break cycles of rumination, reduce anxious thinking, and try concrete tools for mood and anger management.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions and improve how they express needs. EFT-style work can be useful when attachment wounds or relationship patterns drive persistent anger or withdrawal.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort, and life demands. She adjusts pace and techniques based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
