Background and approach
Lynne helps clients clarify what matters to them, then builds simple steps toward those values. Lynne draws on several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps break unhelpful thought and behavior cycles.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports choosing actions that match core values even when feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how important relationships shape current struggles. She has worked with people dealing with substance use and the questions that come with it, as well as trauma, grief, and persistent worry.
Lynne also helps people with identity and connection concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and codependency. In sessions she aims for a warm, collaborative tone. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical skills to use between sessions, and a focus on what matters most to them.
Lynne is licensed in South Carolina and holds the credentials LCSW, CSW, and LISW.
Practical therapeutic methods for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps to change mood and behavior. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with a focus on what is most useful to the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat or text lets people check in more flexibly or get brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining a consistent course of care.
