About Lanette
Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine. She brings four years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, mood disorders, and grief. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.
Lanette creates a welcoming space where people can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. She centers safety and connection in the relationship and avoids judgment in sessions. The aim is to help people feel heard and to build practical ways to cope.
Her work combines several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow the person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that worsen distress. Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness tools are used when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed, and motivational interviewing can help with changes related to substance use or other behaviors.
Lanette adapts her style to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills people can use between meetings. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, and problems tied to identity or life transitions.
People coming to Lanette can expect a direct but compassionate approach that balances practical strategies with respectful listening. If you are unsure whether this is the right match, a brief initial conversation can help clarify fit and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person's priorities first. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and adapt to their pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in high-stress moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lanette will work together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking to know what is offered and how sessions are scheduled. Online work aims to bring practical skills and steady support into everyday routines without promising a particular format.
