About Lynn
She uses a client-centered approach, which means she shapes sessions around what matters most to each person. Lynn draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness are other tools she weaves in when those methods fit a person’s goals.
Lynn’s background includes work with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns across different care settings. That experience informs how she helps people manage cravings, reduce risky behaviors, and address related anxiety or depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career strain.
Sessions focus on clear, practical goals. Lynn helps clients set small, achievable steps and practices to use between meetings. She aims to make talks straightforward and nonjudgmental so people can bring up hard topics and problem-solve together.

How Lynn’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s needs first and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. It’s about listening, reflecting your goals back, and choosing strategies that feel useful in daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress, anxiety, and mood problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behavior.Figuring out the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to pick techniques and practices that fit personal preferences and real-life routines.
The biography mentions live video as commonly used and also notes phone calls and live chat as effective options. Confirm the current session formats when you book to be sure they meet your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for brief check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Many people find that consistent, focused sessions combined with simple between-session practices lead to forward progress.
