How Lynnette uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and choose their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lynnette collaborates with each person to figure out which methods match their needs and preferences. She encourages clients to try tools, report back on what helps, and adjust the plan together.
