Background and approach
She blends insight-focused listening with focused techniques when needed. That means she will sit with how you feel and also help you set small, clear goals to move forward. She uses Existential ideas to help people reconnect with meaning and choice in their lives.
She also integrates cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. When trauma or the body’s responses are part of the problem, somatic and trauma-focused methods are available to work with physical sensations and past events. Psychodynamic perspective is used to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages.
Lynne’s work often addresses life transitions such as divorce, retirement, grief, and aging concerns along with family of origin issues and abandonment wounds. She brings practical support for coping with bipolar, ADHD, chronic illness, and addictions while attending to emotional safety. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice, and the values that guide daily life; it is useful when someone feels lost, empty, or stuck at a major crossroads. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring relationship and behavior patterns that began earlier in life so you can understand and shift them to feel more in control.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, needs, and preferences and will suggest approaches that match those priorities. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or comfort on camera is an issue. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when a quick touchpoint fits a busy schedule. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping consistent access to a licensed professional.
