Lynette has helped me a lot! She has challenged me, nurtured me, and relieved me. She is a great listener (takes notes and everything!) but gives constructive criticism where due. She is warm and professional at the same time. She is non-judgmental and has made me feel more and more okay. I am not crazy. These feelings, thoughts, impulses are completely normal and there are ways to work on them. This is the longest I’ve been in therapy by far and I think that is due to Lynette.

More about Lynette

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

My name is Lynette Maggs and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I started my practice in a community mental health agency in the state of Florida gaining a wealth of knowledge and perspective of the scope of mental illness within our communities. This led me down the path to specialize in areas such as the welfare of children and families affected by trauma and its impact not only on the individual, the family but also the entire community. I have worked with families and individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, abuse/neglect, parenting difficulties, addiction, stress, loss, and the day to day hurdles each of us face in life.

I would describe my approach as empathetic, warm, goal oriented, and client centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy, as well as Client Focused therapy as the basis to my therapeutic approach to help my clients set goals and objectives, work through their traumas, and feel empowered once they have met their goals.

I earned my Bachelor Degree through attending universities in the eastern U.S as my family traveled with my husband in his Coast Guard career. My Master Degree from Liberty University, Virginia in Mental Health Counseling. I have been practicing in the field for the past 20 years with a wealth of training and experiences prior to this time.

I believe humor is essential as we face our hurdles in life and this has been lent to me through the 36 years of marriage, a daughter and navigating this all through 20 years of military life.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Lynette is the only one who has helped me with a long list of issues. She has expressed that she will not give up, and goes well out of her way to explore different ways to approach each issue. She is the only psychiatric professional l have trusted completely.

Thank you Lynette! You listened intently, understood, researched, responded and helped me during a very turbulent period in my life. You covered off discussions on grief, anxiety, stress, parenthood, and marriage with ease and calm. You have been all I could have hoped for in a counsellor and you have the best laugh to boot!!!!

Lynette is the counselor you’ve been looking for. She is like a friend, but one that asks you the really hard questions. She knows what the root of the problem is and she’s knows how to help you resolve it. Mental heath concerns are no walk in the park, but Lynette is the person you want holding your hand and the map.

Lynette has truly helped me with my mental health. From suffering from panic attacks every other day to now feeling more in control of myself, Lynette had my trust all through and it helped me work on myself. I've learned a few significant things through the way she listens and offers advice. I learned that healing is a process which is not time bound and is different from person to person and isn't a measure of their inner strength. I learned that I shouldn't be so hard on myself when Lynette tells me 'its still fresh so of course you're hurting'. She acknowledges my feelings and that is the best part about talking to her. She also does not give me any false hope and tells me how things which I greatly appreciate and puts my mind at ease. She knows what she's doing!

I have only had one session so far with Lynette and it’s been great. She some how managed to pull a smile out of me. She has been super supportive and helpful. She also provided me with tools to help me in my situation. I’m really glad I gave her a chance and look forwarded to our future sessions.

I only spoke with Lynette Maggs for one session and I can say that she is a very kind, empathetic individual who I felt very comfortable speaking with.
