About Lynne

Lynne Peters is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Maryland with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on blended family issues, abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and related family concerns.

Lynne uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out their priorities and make clearer decisions. She draws on client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding.

Mindfulness strategies and elements from dialectical behavior therapy are added when someone needs skills for managing strong emotions or improving day-to-day coping. Motivational interviewing is used when making a change feels overwhelming or when substance use is part of the picture. Imago relationship ideas may appear when communication patterns are a central concern.

Sessions aim to be practical and focused on small, doable steps. Lynne invites people to try techniques between sessions and notices what helps. Progress is built at a patient pace rather than by rushing to solutions.

Her background includes work across varied settings with diverse clients, and she brings that experience to conversations with adults who want clearer routines, steadier moods, and improved communication in blended households and other family situations.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; online sessions let that conversational work continue in a convenient setting. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and tries small experiments between sessions, which fits well with short practical tasks you can do between meetings.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will check goals, try methods that match your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together whether techniques from DBT or mindfulness are a good fit for emotion regulation or stress management.

The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking. When exploring options, consider what fits your routine - short check-ins may fit into a work break, and audio-only sessions can need less bandwidth than video. The online setting can make it easier to schedule regular time for skills practice and to keep momentum between appointments.
