Lynly Curtis, LCSW-C, LICSW

Lynly Curtis is a licensed clinical social worker based in Maryland. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Her approach centers on identifying strengths and building practical skills that fit each person’s day-to-day life.

She offers a warm, understanding style that aims to create a nonjudgmental space for people to speak openly. Faith can be included in sessions at whatever level the client prefers. Sessions emphasize respect, compassion, and straightforward support.

Clinically, she draws on Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She blends elements from these approaches to match the situation rather than sticking to a single method. This helps address concerns such as trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and midlife challenges.

In practical terms, sessions focus on identifying useful coping strategies, improving communication, and working through painful memories or patterns. She also works with people on career concerns, self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. The goal is to leave each session with something concrete to try between visits.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, highlights strengths, and helps people set goals that feel meaningful. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms and distress tied to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and comfort. That process often starts with a few sessions to see what fits and adjust as needed.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats were not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can happen between errands or at a break from work.
