About Lynne
Lynne Healey is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and grief. She approaches work with compassion and steady support. Her style is down-to-earth and practical so parents can find clear next steps.
She uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That can make room for hope after trauma or loss. She also draws on Client-Centered methods to create an accepting space where the person sets the pace.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for tackling unhelpful thoughts and routines. DBT skills are used when emotional regulation and strong reactions get in the way of daily life. When trauma is central, EMDR is offered as one approach to reduce the power of traumatic memories.
Lynne has worked with trauma survivors since 2000 and has experience supporting people after violent events. She combines practical skills with narrative work to help people move forward one step at a time. Sessions focus on clear goals and on small, manageable changes.
Lynne encourages parents and caregivers to bring the issues that weigh on them most. Her work is collaborative and geared toward everyday results rather than jargon.

Online session options
How narrative and skills work translate to online therapy
Online work can use Narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories that keep them stuck. This approach looks at how past events shape your sense of self and helps identify new, more helpful meanings. It often suits issues like grief, identity concerns, and relationship patterns.She also uses Client-Centered methods to create a listening space where the person leads the pace. That approach focuses on empathy, respect, and building trust so goals feel personally meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when people want concrete tools to change thought patterns and behaviors, and it helps with anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients help set goals and decide which techniques to keep using.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or fit short sessions into a busy day.
