About Lynn
Lynn Novatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 17 years of experience. She combines psychotherapy and life and leadership coaching to help people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, and life transitions. Lynn aims to listen closely, offer steady support, and help clients move from feeling stuck to taking clear action.
She uses a calm, encouraging style that mixes compassion with honest feedback. Sessions focus on helping people slow their thinking, notice patterns, and find practical steps forward. Lynn often assigns short exercises between sessions - worksheets, audio prompts, or reading - when clients want hands-on tools to reinforce change.
Her background includes a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica and extensive personal therapeutic work. Lynn says this helps her meet people where they are without gimmicks, and to reflect back what she hears in a straightforward way. That combination shapes an approach that values insight and practical progress.
Therapy with Lynn draws on methods from cognitive-behavioral work, mindfulness, learned optimism, positive psychology, and Gestalt. Those methods are used to address things like self-esteem, control issues, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation. Money and financial issues are also listed among areas she helps people with.

How her approaches guide online work
Many of her tools come from cognitive-behavioral methods, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. CBT-style techniques often include simple exercises and thought records that people can practice between sessions to build new habits.She also uses mindfulness-based practices to help clients notice their thinking and calm physical reactions. Mindfulness exercises are short and practical, helping with rumination, overwhelm, and staying present when pressure rises.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Lynn approaches treatment collaboratively and will help clients test what feels helpful. Over time she adjusts techniques to match a person’s goals, comfort level, and pace of change.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a work break, or help people meet with a therapist from another part of the state. Ask for details about the available session formats when you schedule to make sure they fit your needs.
