Background and approach

Her work includes support for depression, bipolar mood concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

Lynnette draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral and dialectical strategies. She weaves mindfulness and motivational interviewing when it fits the person’s goals. That mix lets her match practical tools to each situation.

She pays attention to physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being and encourages people to bring any concern into the room.

She offers daytime, evening, and weekend hours and supports multiple online session formats to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding together. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps clarify goals, and supports decision-making. This approach is helpful when someone needs a respectful space to sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related strategies, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It teaches distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness in clear, step-by-step ways. DBT tools can be useful for people struggling with strong reactions or relationship conflicts.

Lynnette approaches finding the right method as a team effort. She will discuss options, listen to your goals, and try strategies that fit your needs and preferences. Adjustments are made along the way so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and chat offer flexibility for brief updates or on-the-go coaching. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
