About Lynne

Lynne Healey is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and codependency. Lynne accepts international clients and works in English.

Lynne keeps the conversation direct and compassionate. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She draws on approaches that match each person’s needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes long experience with trauma survivors and work supporting people after violent events. She uses methods that can address painful memories and strong emotional reactions. Lynne also brings experience helping people manage addictions, bipolar symptoms, chronic health struggles, and caregiving stress.

Her clinical approach pulls from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to reduce overwhelm, improve coping, and change unhelpful patterns. She helps people build skills to manage emotions and improve daily functioning.

Lynne describes herself as a parent who understands how life pressures affect people. She aims to be a steady, hopeful presence while clients work toward change. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions, which can reduce anxiety and improve decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and some eating or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit better into a busy day, require less travel, and can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow focused skill practice between meetings and simpler check-ins when time is limited.
