About Lynne
Lynne Peters is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Her style is direct and attentive, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
Lynne draws on 13 years of experience in Maryland settings to shape each session around the person in front of her. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from mindfulness to build calmer responses to stress. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are helpful.
Clients seeking help with addiction, coping after a disaster, caregiver strain, or problems tied to family of origin may find the work practical and goal-focused. Sessions break down challenges into clear steps and rehearsed skills. Homework and small experiments are common parts of the plan.
Lynne encourages people who feel stuck by shame, codependency, or repeated breakup patterns to practice new ways of relating and keeping boundaries. She also uses elements of motivational interviewing to support change when ambivalence is present.
She asks new clients to describe current struggles and short-term goals so they can build a straightforward, achievable plan together. People can expect a collaborative approach that balances support with clear strategies to reduce symptoms and increase coping.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps clients follow their own goals, which can make online conversations feel grounded and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test new patterns; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving step-by-step tools to use between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, which can be practiced during and between meetings to manage strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That might mean trying CBT techniques one week and practicing mindfulness or DBT skills the next, adjusting based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a workday or a caregiving routine. If you want to confirm which session formats are offered, check the booking flow before scheduling, since formats are not listed on the profile.
