Lynne approaches therapy with a collaborative and flexible style, grounded primarily in psychodynamic or insight-oriented work while also employing more structured strategies when clients need clear, immediate goals.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether therapy delivered remotely can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.

One of the primary advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that best suits their needs and schedule: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients can change therapists if they need a different fit. For many, remote sessions remove practical barriers to getting support while still offering skilled therapeutic guidance and strategies to address emotional and relational concerns.
