About Lynette
Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Maine with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family matters, and major life transitions. Lynette also addresses issues such as bipolar disorder, self-esteem, career stress, and LGBT-related concerns.
Lynette uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Narrative and existential ideas help people make sense of life changes and clarify purpose.
Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete steps. She offers tools for managing panic, postpartum depression, seasonal affective shifts, and caregiver strain. Sessions may include short exercises, thought records, or attention-training practices to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Lynette pays attention to relationship and attachment patterns. She helps people untangle codependency, cope with divorce or separation, and handle isolation or loneliness. Work on parenting questions centers on realistic strategies for everyday family stresses rather than on child therapy techniques.
Her approach is collaborative and direct. She helps clients set clear goals and track progress. Practical strategies are combined with discussion about meaning, values, and life direction when that feels relevant.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Lynette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms such as panic or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at values, meaning, and life direction when people face major transitions. That approach helps with questions about purpose, midlife shifts, and making decisions that fit personal priorities.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what feels useful and practical.
