About Lynette
Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She draws on 15 years of clinical experience to provide steady, practical support. Her style is straightforward and calm, aimed at helping clients feel seen and understood quickly.
In sessions she focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings. That can mean learning skills to manage panic, making sense of grief, or finding a new routine after a life shift.
Background and approach
She uses talk and simple exercises so problems feel more manageable day to day. Lynette takes a whole-person view and pays attention to emotional and practical needs. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the plan accordingly.
This often includes working on relationships, self-worth, or the stresses of caregiving and parenting. Her work includes support for people dealing with bipolar mood patterns, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and the strain of major transitions. She also helps people who are struggling with isolation, codependency, or finding life purpose in midlife and young adulthood.
Based in Maine, Lynette combines evidence-informed methods with everyday language. She aims to make therapy useful from the first few sessions. People who want clear takeaways and practical coping tools often find her approach helpful.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions use talk and short between-session exercises to help reduce anxiety and unhelpful thinking patterns. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning and values, helping people make sense of transitions and life purpose through guided reflection and conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, existential reflection, mindfulness exercises, or a mix will fit best. This is decided together based on goals, daily life, and what feels most useful in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good for a full session feel, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can serve as brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone needs a shorter touchpoint during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and support steady progress over time.
