About Lynn
Lynn Tijssen is a Maine-based Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 21 years of experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing codependency patterns, grief, sleep or eating issues, and challenges tied to parenting, career, or life transitions.
Lynn keeps sessions straightforward and interactive. She listens for what matters to the person in front of her and helps them name unhelpful patterns. Conversations focus on practical changes - clearer boundaries, coping skills, and small experiments to test new behaviors.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and existential ideas. That means she balances careful listening with tools to shift thoughts and behaviors, and with space to consider values and meaning. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the client's goals.
People often come to Lynn when they’re worn down from putting others first, stuck in anxious routines, or dealing with substance use. She helps people sort immediate problems and build steady habits for managing mood, cravings, or relationship strain.
Sessions are conversational and goal-directed. Lynn encourages practical steps between meetings and checks in on what’s working. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are offered in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and figure out their own priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers concrete exercises for managing anxiety, mood, and addictive urges. Existential Therapy looks at values and meaning, helping people clarify what matters when they face big life questions or midlife shifts.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Lynn will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. She adjusts the balance of listening, skills practice, and value-focused conversations as the work unfolds so clients can see what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and homework that clients can apply between meetings to build steady change.
