01About Erin
Erin Byrnes is a licensed professional counselor with twenty years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She supports clients working through low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, anger, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
Erin builds a calm, nonjudgmental setting where people can talk about what they are facing. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She combines talk therapy with skills practice so progress shows up in daily routines. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to clarify how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness and emotionally-focused methods are added when people need better emotion regulation and clearer communication. Erin has supported people dealing with abandonment, codependency, blended family issues, and family-of-origin concerns. She also helps those struggling with guilt, shame, impulsivity, postpartum mood changes, seasonal affective disorder, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Clients can expect a supportive guide who balances listening with practical tools. Erin helps clarify goals and track small wins so change feels steady rather than overwhelming. She offers services from Washington and conducts sessions in English, including with international clients.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Erin uses attachment-based approaches to help people see how early relationship patterns show up now, which can make it easier to change how they relate and feel. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and move through strong feelings so communication and connection improve.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Erin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a short break or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
