Lynette Roy, LCSW

Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Her style is practical and warm, aimed at helping people find steps that actually fit their day-to-day life.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and narrative work to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new, manageable habits. She also draws on existential ideas to help people face big questions about meaning and direction. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants clearer momentum toward a goal.

Her work often focuses on stress, coping skills, parenting strains, relationship concerns, and the ups and downs of career and life stage changes. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, and caregiver stress. Attachment patterns and codependency are common topics she helps people untangle.

Lynette practices from Maine and works with people in English, including international clients when that fits. She offers several session formats so conversations can happen in the way that works best for a person’s schedule. Her aim is to help people build useful tools, reduce overwhelm, and move toward clearer choices.

People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance, practical exercises, and a focus on what can change now. She emphasizes collaboration and helps tailor the pace and techniques to each person’s goals and life demands.

How therapeutic approaches work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical and goal-focused, useful for panic, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult feelings. It pairs well with CBT when someone wants calmer day-to-day responses. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, purpose, and values to help people facing life transitions or a sense of stuckness and can help clarify what matters next.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist meets people where they are and discusses goals, preferences, and how fast they want to move. Together they try ideas, review what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and aims.

Online therapy offers different ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a change of scene is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging for quick check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep momentum between meetings, and use the format that best supports a person’s comfort and routine.
