Lanette Bryant

Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine. She has four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression. She creates a direct, calm space where people can talk about hard things without judgment.

She focuses on clear, practical steps to help people cope. Conversations often include skills for managing strong feelings, strategies to reduce substance use, and ways to handle anxiety day to day. Sessions are grounded in what the person needs right now rather than abstract theory.

Lanette emphasizes safety and connection as the foundation of the work. That means listening closely, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the pace when emotions or memories feel intense. She aims to make the room a place where people can be honest and noticed.

Her work draws on methods that help people change patterns and build new habits. Clients can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and longer conversations about meaning, values, and relationships. She encourages small, realistic steps that can fit into everyday life.

Lanette also supports people dealing with grief, identity questions related to LGBT concerns, and anger. She invites people to start at their own speed and to name what they most want to work on.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It helps when someone needs a steady, understanding partner to talk through feelings and make choices that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It often includes techniques for handling anger, impulsivity, and distress in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what feels helpful, and how fast to move. Together they decide which methods to try and can adjust as progress is made.

For online arrangements, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. When scheduling, consider what will make it easiest to focus and practice skills between meetings.
