Lynette Herring, LPC

Lynette Herring is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar mood shifts, relationship strain, or the effects of trauma and abuse. Lynette aims to make the therapy process straightforward and supportive for parents and busy adults who need practical help.

Lynette uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She listens closely and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and routines that keep problems active. She also uses client-centered care to keep conversations focused on the client's values and priorities.

In sessions she brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work when they fit a person's needs. That means working on emotional regulation skills, strengthening motivation for change, and building small, achievable steps toward better communication and day-to-day coping.

She is experienced helping people manage social anxiety, communication problems, post-traumatic stress, and the ups and downs of mood disorders. Lynette is comfortable discussing faith and how spiritual beliefs intersect with healing when clients want that included.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading, traveling, and cooking. Family time with her nine grandchildren is a major joy. Her style is warm, practical, and centered on helping clients find strategies that work in real life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood swings; online sessions use structured conversations and worksheets to build new habits and coping skills. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and values, offering listening and reflection that helps people clarify what matters most and decide next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through attention to mindfulness, distress tolerance, and communication strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Treatment plans can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and follow structured exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, homework review, or support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
