About Lynda

She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem challenges, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses a range of related difficulties such as abandonment, attachment issues, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, communication problems, dissociation, and separation or divorce. Her therapeutic stance blends client-centered values with solution-focused strategies and cognitive behavioral techniques.

Lynda emphasizes collaboration and helps clients clarify goals while building on existing strengths. She aims to create a respectful, genuine therapeutic relationship where clients are treated as the experts on their own stories and supported in making practical changes.

Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability, with subscription-based sessions that can be canceled at any time.

CBT and Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and focuses on building concrete strategies to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients discover their own solutions and strengths. This approach is especially useful when people want a collaborative space to explore identity, relationships, or life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy can also be integrated to teach present-moment awareness techniques that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is a shared process. The therapist works with each person to tailor methods based on their goals, preferences, and what proves most helpful in early sessions. This collaborative process helps shape a personalized plan rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
