About Lynette

Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 15 years of experience. She supports adults working through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage upsetting emotions and recurring patterns. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what changes feel realistic in daily life. Clients can expect clear tools for coping, ways to spot patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, and steps for rebuilding routine and perspective.

Lynette draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to break down thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness approaches are used to calm the body and notice strong feelings without acting on them. Narrative and existential ideas help people find meaning after loss or big life shifts.

Her work also includes motivational interviewing to support decision making and commitment to small behavior changes. Sessions aim for straightforward plans that fit a client’s schedule and values. Progress is checked in concrete ways so people know what’s changing and what still needs attention.

Clients who are juggling caregiving stress, attachment questions, codependency, career doubts, postpartum challenges, or midlife concerns may find these methods useful. If someone wants to address anger that shows up at home or at work, she helps them identify triggers and practice different responses.

How sessions work

Approaches used online and how they help

Many of Lynette's methods translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers step-by-step practices to reduce reactivity and mood swings. It is often useful for anxiety, anger, and depression.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and create room to choose a different response. It can help when anger or panic feels automatic. Narrative and Existential ideas focus on the stories people tell about themselves and the meaning they make after losses or major life shifts. These approaches can clarify values and priorities.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some people prefer simpler phone check-ins while others use video for full sessions, and the therapist will discuss which format best fits a client’s routine and needs.
