About Lynne

Lynne Healey is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience, offering practical support for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career challenges, and more.

Background and approach

She draws on a trauma-informed background and extensive training in EMDR to help match clients with treatment strategies that fit their specific needs. Lynne emphasizes resilience and the possibility of change, working with clients to build skills and regain a sense of agency after setbacks.

Her style blends client-centered principles with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and EMDR when appropriate. Over two decades she has supported people through acute crises and longer-term issues, including assisting survivors of traumatic events.

Lynne frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to create an environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can pursue healing, strengthen coping resources, and move toward practical, meaningful goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Lynne uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice more adaptive coping strategies; this approach is well suited to addressing anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. She also draws on EMDR for trauma-focused work, which involves structured processing techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional impact when that fits client needs.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review each person’s history, current concerns, and goals, then recommend or combine methods that best match those needs while checking in about preferences and progress throughout treatment.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options allow clients to continue consistent work on skills, trauma processing, and coping strategies without needing to travel, and they support ongoing collaboration between client and therapist across a range of formats.
