Lynn Tijssen, LCPC

Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who helps people facing midlife changes, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support so people can find clearer direction and feel more steady day to day. Lynn aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients decide goals and pace.

With 21 years of experience, Lynn draws on approaches that center the client and emphasize present choices. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Existential themes also guide conversations about meaning, values, and life direction.

Her sessions are interactive and straightforward. Lynn avoids stigmatizing labels and instead asks practical questions about what a person wants to change. She helps people set small, achievable steps and checks progress along the way.

Lynn also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, work stress, sleep and eating problems, and issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, and panic attacks. She includes coaching-style feedback when clients want concrete tools to manage daily life.

People who choose Lynn can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with skills-building. Her aim is to help clients find more calm, clarity, and purpose as they move through life transitions and challenges.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental place to talk about stress, life purpose, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and sleep or eating concerns.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into daily life to reduce reactivity and support better coping. This approach pairs well with skills-based work when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lynn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or family, fewer travel needs, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and use the therapists tools in real life between meetings.
