Lynn has helped me really work through a lot and even though it’s always going to be something I have to work on I can feel myself being able to handle more and more of my anxiety and depression in a constructive way. I’ve even been able to help other people in my life with things I’ve learned from our sessions.

- LISW, LCSW
My name is Lynn Murphy and I earned a Masters Degree from The University of Iowa in 2019 with a focus in Individual, Family and Group therapy. I am licensed in Louisiana as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in Mississippi as a Licensed Certified Social Worker and in Iowa as a Licensed Independent Social Worker. My experience includes working with anxiety, stress, ADHD, trauma/abuse and family issues. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families so I have an overall picture of how mental health issues affect the entire family system.
I believe in meeting my clients where they are emotionally and assisting them to reach their full potential. I am non-judgmental and open minded which assists my clients in feeling comfortable with me. My work is typically based in Cognitive Behavioral therapy and strength-based therapy.
I can be messaged through Better Help at any time and I will contact you in a short time. Congratulations on making the first step in reaching your full potential. I look forward to working with you to assist you in reaching that goal.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Super supportive and open therapist that knows how to assist you by thought provoking questions!
Lynn has been so wonderful to work with -- she gave me emotional support and practical, actionable advice. I'm so glad I made the decision to work with her.
I feel like I connected well with Lynn.
Lynn was quite insightful related to what seems to me to be a lot of family dynamics. She helped to sort things out and posed the right questions and assisted greatly.
Lynn has a great personality and isn't afraid to really make me think about things and point things out that otherwise I may never have thought of myself. I really enjoy working with Lynn.
Very helpful & understanding!
Lynn is amazing, we get along so well and she listens. she isnt pushy and for once I actually feel like the professional I am speaking to wants to help not just collect a check.
This is my first counseling experience in 45 years. I've really enjoyed my counseling in this format especially with Lynn. She's very attentive and helpful.
Lynn 'gets me' like a best friend who can offer advice with the genuine sympathy from experience combined with knowledge based upon scientific learning. I am so lucky to have been able to connect with her.
Lynn has been great!
Kind, caring and honest. Takes time to address my concerns. Highly recommend.
