About Erin
Erin Byrnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience based in Washington. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, family issues, anger, and coping with life changes. Her listing also notes work around abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, codependency, and related challenges.
Erin uses a mix of approaches tailored to what each person needs in the moment. She draws on attachment-based work to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and emotion-focused techniques to process strong feelings.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Erin helps people name what is happening, try new ways of responding, and practice small changes between meetings. She puts emphasis on understanding patterns that repeat, like people-pleasing or losing personal boundaries, and on building clearer ways to say no or ask for what is needed.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with trauma, grief, and mood concerns. Over two decades she has supported people through life transitions, postpartum mood issues, seasonal mood shifts, and habits such as smoking or vaping cessation. The LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and reflects her professional license.

How sessions work
How Erin’s approaches translate to online work
Erin commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and feelings. That approach helps when someone repeatedly prioritizes others or struggles to set boundaries, by mapping where those patterns come from and what keeps them going.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and building practical skills like saying no or managing strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Erin will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as work progresses.

Online sessions also let a therapist coach practical skills in real time and plan small homework between meetings to practice new boundaries.
