About Lynn

Lynn Anne Palmer is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who draws on four decades of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around the client’s own expertise about their life, helping clients identify strengths and build practical tools to address challenges that interfere with daily functioning and well-being. Her approach balances evidence-informed strategies with a respectful, collaborative stance that encourages personal agency and growth.

Over a long career, Lynn has worked with diverse issues including abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, substance-related problems, eating and body-image struggles, communication and commitment difficulties, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

She also uses modalities that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based approaches, client-centered methods, emotionally focused techniques, and EMDR when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Lynn practices in New Hampshire and offers services in English, bringing steady clinical judgment and a commitment to helping people move toward more satisfying, manageable lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing

Lynn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. She also incorporates attachment-based work which explores relational patterns and early connections to improve current relationships and emotional regulation. When appropriate, client-centered methods guide the pace and focus of sessions by prioritizing the client’s perspective and strengths, creating space for self-directed insight and growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Lynn works with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time, checking in about what is helpful and adjusting focus so the work aligns with the client’s priorities and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Lynn is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward practical change.
