About Lynette

Lynette Maggs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She draws on decades of life experience alongside her counseling work to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and grief. Her style is warm and empathetic, and she focuses on setting clear goals with each person she sees.

She began in a community mental health agency in Florida where she worked with a wide range of needs. That work shaped her interest in trauma and how it affects individuals and families. She has supported people facing depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and the everyday hurdles that come with major life changes.

Lynette describes her approach as client centered and goal oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Client Focused therapy to help people set objectives, work through traumatic experiences, and build skills to meet their goals. Sessions blend practical skill building with empathetic listening.

Her educational path includes a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in Virginia and a bachelor’s degree earned while her family moved around the eastern U.S. She also brings long personal experience from years of military family life and parenting.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance, some practical homework between sessions, and a sense of humor when appropriate. Lynette aims to help people feel more empowered as they move toward the changes they want in their lives.

Evidence-based techniques and how they work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, anger, depression, and behavior changes by teaching practical skills to change thought patterns and actions.

Client Focused therapy emphasizes listening and creating a safe space for people to express themselves. It helps people clarify their own goals and make changes at their own pace through empathic reflection and support.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Many people find online appointments help maintain consistency while working toward their goals.
