About Lynette

Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses codependency, caregiver stress, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and issues common to young adults and women.

In sessions Lynette listens closely and helps people name what feels overwhelming. She uses clear, practical tools to manage panic, low mood, and ongoing worry. Conversations focus on what feels stuck now and steps a person can take between meetings.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. She also uses mindfulness techniques to steady the body and attention during acute stress. Narrative and existential ideas come into play when people want to sort out meaning, identity, or their next chapter.

Lynette helps people who are navigating separation, midlife shifts, postpartum changes, seasonal mood shifts, or challenges tied to bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with isolation, low self-esteem, anger, career questions, and life purpose concerns. Sessions aim to make everyday coping more manageable.

People can expect practical suggestions and space to reflect without judgment. Lynette works collaboratively to set goals and to try approaches that fit a person’s values and daily life. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How sessions work

Online work using CBT, Mindfulness, and Narrative approaches

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is useful for panic attacks, worry, and patterns of people-pleasing that feed codependency.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These tools can help when stress, overwhelm, or low mood make everyday tasks harder.

Narrative therapy invites people to tell their story and notice dominant themes that feel limiting, then try alternative stories that reflect strengths and values. This approach can support work on identity, life purpose, and recovery from patterns tied to codependency.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust based on what helps most. The focus is on practical techniques and meaning-making that suit the person’s life.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows use of exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices between meetings to support steady progress.
