About Lynette

Lynette Maggs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She began her career in community mental health, where she learned how mental illness affects individuals and whole neighborhoods. Her work there shaped a focus on family welfare and how trauma affects people and their relationships.

She brings a warm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to help people set clear goals they can work toward. She has experience addressing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, addiction, stress, grief, and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also supports people with self-esteem struggles, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Lynette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the foundation of her work.

She emphasizes practical steps, goal setting, and skills people can use between sessions. Her manner is empathetic and client-centered, and she mixes warmth and occasional humor to keep progress real and manageable. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, Virginia.

She also studied at universities in the eastern U.S. while moving with her family. Lynette notes that her background in community agencies and long professional experience inform how she approaches common life hurdles. Therapy with Lynette can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She recommends starting by identifying a clear concern, choosing goals, and then working step by step toward practical changes.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on client-focused therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. This approach supports self-esteem work, grief processing, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges by meeting people where they are.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick or adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That teamwork helps ensure sessions focus on what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel, and keep continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide practical skill-building, check progress, and adjust plans as needed.
