Lynda uses client-centered care that starts with the person’s own story. She partners with people to identify strengths and practical steps toward change.
Background and approach
She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name and shift unhelpful thinking patterns when that fits the situation. Narrative Therapy also informs her work by helping people separate themselves from problems and rewrite how they see difficult experiences. Mindfulness techniques are used when slowing down and noticing the present moment helps reduce overwhelm.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to build motivation for change. She has experience working with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, issues related to aging, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment and personality-related challenges, and divorce or separation. Lynda also supports LGBT concerns and a variety of coping needs that come after natural or human-caused disasters.
Lynda aims to make sessions positive and genuine. She helps people set clear goals and breaks those goals into manageable steps. Her approach is collaborative and focused on practical progress as people move through life changes.

How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Lynda often blends Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people tell their stories in new ways and to place the client’s perspective at the center of care. Narrative Therapy helps separate the person from the problem and look for alternative storylines, which can be useful for trauma, grief, or identity concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating on goals so people feel understood and respected.She also commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when that is helpful. CBT provides clear, hands-on strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult emotions. Together these approaches give both reflective storytelling and practical skills to work toward change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to weave into a busy life.
