About Lynn
She brings seven years of clinical experience working with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. Her background includes individual and group work across levels of care, and she draws on that experience when supporting people with depression, codependency, and grief. Lynn adapts her methods to match what a person needs in the moment.
Lynn uses a mix of approaches to guide sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, and focusing on choices that move someone toward their goals.
She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their struggles. Conversations are straightforward and focused on tangible changes that make daily life easier. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, isolation, and issues around life purpose.
To start, Lynn asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on her availability. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Payments use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Lynn’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and meeting a person where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. This approach is useful when someone needs support sorting through big choices or emotional turmoil.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions often include practical exercises and short homework to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skill-building for regulating emotions and managing intense urges, which can be helpful for impulsivity, strong emotional reactions, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needs change. That decision is made together and can be adjusted over time.
