About Lynne

Lynne Healey is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She draws on more than two decades of experience to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and other life disruptions. Lynne works in English and offers services to clients in Florida and internationally.

She meets each person where they are and builds a plan around real goals.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful. Lynne uses talk therapy and skills practice so people leave with tools they can try between appointments. Lynne has focused much of her career on trauma work and has training in EMDR, which she applies when trauma memories are part of someone’s difficulties.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to address mood, anxiety, and behavioral concerns. Over 22 years she has also supported people through issues like body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, substance use, blended family dynamics, and adjustment after loss.

Her approach mixes symptom-focused strategies with attention to what matters to each person in daily life. She invites people who want practical, compassionate help to explore options. Lynne aims to collaborate on a course of care that fits a person’s needs, values, and goals.

How Lynne’s Methods Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. Sessions are guided by what matters most to the client, and the therapist listens and reflects to help clarify next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process painful memories; it can be offered when trauma memories are central to a person’s difficulties.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Lynne discusses options and tailors a plan to fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and often mixes methods so clients learn skills while also addressing deeper experiences.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel, and maintain continuity when life changes. Many people find the variety of options helps them practice new skills more consistently and keeps care flexible around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities.

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.
