Her background includes work addressing substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. That experience shapes her practical focus on problem solving and relapse prevention skills.

She also addresses caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and social anxiety. Sessions aim to build skills for coping, clearer communication, and steadier moods. Sessions are offered in English and Lynn accepts international clients.

Her license is Florida LCSW SW17895 and she maintains professional standards as an LCSW.

Online approaches that focus on skills and coping

Client-centered therapy starts by listening closely to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the person’s lead and adapts tools to fit their goals, which is useful when someone needs practical, real-world solutions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it offers concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. This approach can help when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods match your goals, preferences, and current situation. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to stay connected from different locations. They also let people choose the format that feels most comfortable while still working on skills, coping strategies, and clearer communication.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
