How Lynette’s approaches translate to online work

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new ways of responding. These approaches help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for everyday situations.

She also uses concepts from dialectical behavior theory to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be useful for strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulse control challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will shape a plan that fits the person’s needs and pace.
