Lynly Curtis

Lynly Curtis is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maryland. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Lynly focuses on identifying a person’s strengths and building on them in practical ways.

She offers a warm, understanding approach that centers the individual. Sessions are a space to talk through hard things without judgment. Faith can be included in sessions when the person wants to make that part of the work.

Her background spans clinical settings where she supported people through major life changes, grief, parenting strain, and work-related burnout. That experience informs a steady, pragmatic style in sessions. The goal is to find strategies that fit daily life and feel achievable.

Lynly draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. She uses Client-Centered methods to build trust, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, DBT skills for emotion regulation, EMDR for trauma-focused work, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness.

People who want a collaborative, strengths-based process may appreciate her style. She works with adults on matters such as anger, intimacy concerns, ADHD challenges, career stress, and coping after loss. To begin, individuals complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and building a trusting relationship so a person feels understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean trying one approach for a while, combining techniques, or adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten the time spent traveling, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. It can also let people use phone-only contact when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue, or schedule sessions at times that better match work and family routines.
