How Lynn’s approaches inform online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood, and uses empathetic listening to help people feel safer exploring hard topics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and client-centered strategies and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
