About Lynn
Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and codependency. She works with concerns that include relationships, grief, self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, and career or life-change struggles. Lynn brings 21 years of experience to those seeking clearer direction and practical coping skills.
Her approach is conversational and respectful. Sessions focus on the person, not labels. Lynn uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each individual. She combines that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to address thoughts, behaviors, and day-to-day routines.
Lynn also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and make choices aligned with their values. Motivational interviewing tools may be used to build readiness for change, especially around addiction or health goals. Treatment plans are adapted to fit each person’s needs and pace.
Clients can expect an interactive, compassionate style that emphasizes strengths and realistic steps forward. Lynn frames therapy as a collaboration where goals and methods are checked in on regularly. Her work includes attention to complex issues such as trauma, bipolar symptoms, postpartum depression, and chronic grief.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Lynn’s availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. Online sessions can still use this approach to build trust, explore values, and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns. This method helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with cravings or mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lynn will work with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy is collaborative, so techniques are tested and changed if they do not fit the client's life or priorities.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into a lunch break or quieter part of the day, reduce travel time, and allow consistent continuity when people relocate or travel. It also permits shorter check-ins when that is useful. Licensed professionals use these formats to help clients apply skills in real life and keep progress moving forward.
