She holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials, reflecting licensed social work qualifications and extensive training.

Lynne’s approach is grounded in the belief that suffering and uncertainty are part of being human, and that joy, growth and healing are possible through connection.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take action in line with those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions because it emphasizes living a meaningful life rather than eliminating all discomfort.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, and it can be especially helpful for people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, or ongoing relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people with empathy and respect, helping them feel heard and understood while they work toward their own goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lynne collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy feels useful and relevant.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic distance. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively through remote sessions, making it easier to access consistent support without rearranging life around appointments.
