How Lynette’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on building practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It teaches concrete techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger and impulsivity.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new coping strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lynette will listen to goals and preferences and then suggest which techniques to try. She tailors sessions so the client helps decide what fits best and adjusts plans as progress is made.

If you want online options, confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of online therapy are flexibility and convenience - it can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also work better when you prefer not to be on camera or need a quicker session during a break at work. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and daily life.
