Lynn Anne Palmer, LICSW

Lynn Anne Palmer is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in New Hampshire who uses a mix of approaches to help people reduce anxiety and manage stress. She brings 40 years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps that people can use right away. Lynn emphasizes the person’s own knowledge of their life and strengths. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.

In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build alternative coping skills. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen close relationships and to help people feel understood as they work through painful experiences. When past trauma is central she can include techniques that address those memories and their impact on daily life.

Lynn helps with common struggles such as worry, low mood, and difficulties in relationships. She also supports people dealing with specific concerns like abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, addiction, and eating-related problems. She frames each problem in straightforward terms and works with clients to set short-term, achievable goals.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. She listens for what already helps and then suggests small changes to thinking, behavior, and communication. Sessions are aimed at making daily life easier and stabilizing emotions so people can pursue meaningful changes.

People looking for a therapist who values experience and a steady, respectful manner may find her style a good fit. Lynn encourages a gradual pace and honors each person’s readiness to try new strategies.

How Lynn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Many of Lynn’s methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. Online sessions can include guided exercises, homework assignments, and real-time practice of coping skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and communication. Through video or phone conversations she helps people notice patterns in relationships and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration; the therapist follows the person's lead and offers empathy while helping them clarify goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lynn will discuss options and tailor methods to the person's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. This helps shape a plan that feels realistic and fits daily life.

Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expression and practice communication in a live setting. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing feedback, or when a quick strategy is needed between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress moving forward.
