How Lynn’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps build a plan that fits the person’s goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. It helps people learn concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers practical tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Lynn aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will check in and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
