She welcomes discussion of any life area a client brings to therapy, including physical, mental, and spiritual concerns. Topics she often sees include blended family issues, attachment and abandonment, codependency, intimacy and commitment challenges, and substance use concerns.
Her style is straightforward and goal-focused. People who want concrete skills for handling stress, communicating better, or navigating blended household challenges may find this approach useful.
How her methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set their own goals. This approach is useful for sorting relationship problems and blended household stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thinking and behavior patterns. It uses short exercises and practical tools to change unhelpful habits and manage anxiety or low mood. CBT can help with sleep, eating issues, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lynnette will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, reflective listening, or motivational work.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try therapist-led skill practice and coaching between meetings while keeping sessions accessible from where they happen to be.
