About Lynnie
Lynnie Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns, and she supports LGBT people navigating identity and interpersonal strain.
She focuses on patterns like codependency, feelings of emptiness, jealousy, and problems saying no. She also helps people with obsessive thoughts, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and the questions young adults often face. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to reduce the everyday pressure that comes from putting others first.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try new behaviors between sessions. Practical skills from cognitive-behavioral approaches are combined with ways to notice thoughts and values so people can make choices that fit their life.
Lynnie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods. Those approaches guide short-term tools and longer-term practice to manage symptoms and improve decision-making in relationships.
People can expect focused work on boundaries, clearer priorities, and steady steps toward self-respect. She frames each session around what the client wants to change and what feels realistic to practice between meetings.
How sessions work
How Lynnie applies therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, codependency patterns, and for people who feel pulled toward pleasing others instead of acting on their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT provides concrete tools for managing social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, seasonal mood shifts, and low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that match those goals. That collaborative process may mix ACT, CBT, DBT skills, and client-centered conversations depending on what helps most.

Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt activities to the online setting so clients can practice skills between meetings and bring real situations into sessions for immediate work.
