More about Lynn
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a psychotherapist, a licensed clinical social worker, with over 25 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I have experience and specialization in the areas of: stress management, anger management, life transition (grief/loss, elder care, etc..), trauma/abuse and issues of cultural diversity.
One of the biggest misconceptions about therapy is that you are TOLD what to do by the therapist. Rather than telling, we work together to assist you with not only finding possible solutions, but to develop an understanding of the emotional events which have lead you to counseling. That work helps in creating alternative ways of dealing with and resolving those initial challenges, situations or problems.
You are not alone in address and resolving your concerns. I look forward to assisting you in that process; together we can.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
