Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care
Lynn uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where individuals are treated with respect and their personal goals and values guide the work. This approach helps when people want empathetic listening and collaborative problem solving around relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing mood symptoms. Mindfulness therapy complements these methods by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can improve sleep, emotional regulation, and coping with cravings or intense emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lynn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
