About Lynette

Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience who helps people navigate intense feelings and life changes. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and challenges around self-esteem and relationships. Her tone is practical and direct, offering tools people can use between sessions to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

She blends therapy methods to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single technique. In sessions she listens closely, asks clear questions, and offers straightforward strategies for coping and problem solving. Clients can expect a focus on what matters most to them and steps to try outside of therapy.

Lynette pays attention to how life events, relationships, and roles shape how people feel. She helps people untangle patterns linked to attachment, codependency, caregiver stress, and life transitions like divorce or career shifts. She also supports those working through postpartum depression, bipolar mood concerns, panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, and the stresses of parenting.

Her clinical approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative work, existential reflection, and motivational interviewing. Lynette uses these tools to help people reframe unhelpful thinking, build daily routines that reduce distress, and find meaning during hard times. She draws on fifteen years of hands-on practice in Maine.

People who are considering therapy can expect clear steps, practical skills, and a collaborative stance. She encourages people to bring specific problems and goals so sessions can stay focused and useful.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Many of her methods translate into remote work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body. Existential therapy invites people to talk about meaning, values, and life choices when facing major transitions or grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively to see which methods match a person’s goals and situation. Together they try tools, notice what helps, and adjust the approach over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Session logistics vary by practice, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full office visit is harder to schedule. It also lets people use practices learned in session in their actual daily settings, which can speed skill building and real-world progress.
