Erin Welsh, MD, LCPC

Erin Welsh is a licensed counselor based in Maryland who brings 15 years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, caregivers, and people growing their families. Holding the credentials MD and LCPC, Erin combines a depth of training with a practical, collaborative style that focuses on identifying strengths, clarifying needs, and setting meaningful goals. MD indicates a medical degree and LCPC reflects a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential in plain language.

Her work emphasizes partnership with each client to build self-esteem, expand coping skills, and connect with supports that encourage a more positive perspective. Erin draws on a blend of therapeutic techniques tailored to each situation, using evidence-informed tools to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career stressors, OCD, and ADHD. Treatment is adapted to fit the individual rather than forcing a single method on every case.

When working with young children, including those as young as four, Erin prioritizes parent involvement and often combines individual sessions with parents, child-focused work, and family sessions that may include siblings. She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients reduce negative self-talk and build healthier thinking patterns, and she incorporates multisensory and tactile methods when that approach benefits younger clients.

Erin provides messaging and live messaging services and offers occasional phone sessions, with regular check-ins Monday through Friday. She approaches each relationship with a focus on growth, skill-building, and practical steps toward the client’s stated goals.
