Lynette Roy, LCSW

Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate major life changes and emotional strain. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Her style is straightforward and attentive, aimed at helping people feel heard and less overwhelmed.

In sessions she listens carefully and helps people name what feels hard. She uses coaching-style questions and coping strategies to manage strong emotions and recurring worries. Work may include setting small goals, practicing new thinking patterns, and developing routines that reduce daily pressure.

Lynette draws from several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts that keep problems going. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice feelings without getting swept away. Existential therapy supports people who are wrestling with life purpose or major transitions, including midlife questions.

She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to clarify values and reshape difficult stories people tell about themselves. This mix supports practical change while honoring emotional experience. Sessions tend to focus on real-world steps a person can try between meetings.

Lynette is based in Maine and works in English. She accepts international clients. If someone wants to explore coping with parenting stress, relationship trouble, career shifts, caregiver strain, or midlife uncertainty, she can help them sort options and plan next steps.

How Lynette’s approaches fit into online therapy

Many of the techniques Lynette uses translate well to remote work and can be practiced outside sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress by giving clear exercises and small behavioral goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can be useful for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. Existential therapy is about clarifying personal values and meaning when life feels uncertain, which can be helpful during midlife transitions and career or life-purpose questions.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on real-world results and personal comfort.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins on busy days. It also supports doing practical homework between meetings, such as thought records, mindfulness practices, or goal tracking, which helps carry progress into daily life.
