About Lynne

Lynne Healey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and codependency patterns. She also supports people facing eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and anger or career concerns.

She draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's goals and priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.

Lynne has substantial work with trauma survivors and uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one of the treatment tools she may consider. She aims to match each person with approaches that fit their needs and circumstances. Her practice has included supporting people affected by community trauma, including school shooting survivors.

Her work is practical and goal-oriented. Sessions often include clear skill practice, attention to immediate problems, and moves toward longer-term patterns such as attachment, abandonment, or codependent behavior. She also addresses co-occurring issues like chronic illness and substance-related problems.

Lynne is a parent and brings that perspective into conversations about caregiving stress and blended family dynamics. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling are used to set the first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and preferences. Online sessions mean the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set practical steps that suit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses exercises to change them; online work often includes homework, worksheets, and brief skill practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories; when used online it involves guided bilateral stimulation and careful preparation and follow-up with the therapist.

Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, past responses to therapy, and current needs, then suggest approaches to try. They adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the person and therapist find what works best together.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or a session without the need to travel. It can also allow use of materials and exercises in between meetings to reinforce skills learned in sessions.
