Lynly is a great therapist. She listens and really caters to what you need as an individual. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Reviewed September 2023

Lynly is kind but not afraid to challenge me (as that is something I want). She is very flexible, reading journal entries and responding to messages outside of the scheduled sessions. She also provides worksheets when I request them. The best way to describe her is warm and works together with you!

More about Lynly

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-C, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with over a decade of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, life changes, trauma and relationships. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them. I am here to offer a safe place to explore and express yourself without fear of judgement.

My therapy style is warm and understanding. We can incorporate your faith as much or as little as you would like to. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and empathy. I like to incorporate aspects from multiple therapeutic approaches primarily CBT, EMDR, Client Centered Approach, and IFS. I also believe your treatment should be custom tailored to your specific needs and we will work together to achieve just that.

Seeking help is the most important and probably most difficult step to take but you did it and you are not alone.

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.
