Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Erin Byrnes integrates several evidence-based approaches to meet the needs of each person she sees. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current bonds and intimacy - it can be especially helpful for abandonment, attachment issues, and family challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and support trauma recovery when past events continue to interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to relationship concerns, grief, mood symptoms, or identity and purpose exploration.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across locations. These formats allow Erin and other licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-oriented care that fits into busy lives and supports ongoing progress.
