    About Lanette

    Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Maine. She brings four years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward approach to sessions. Lanette focuses on making the first step into therapy easier for people who are nervous about asking for help.

    She helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those coping with substance use and addiction. Lanette also works with people affected by trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, and issues around anger and grief. She is comfortable addressing concerns related to LGBT identity and family stress in individual sessions.

    Lanette creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. She emphasizes safety and connection as the foundation of the work. That means listening closely, asking questions to clarify goals, and moving slowly when people need it.

    Her style mixes practical skills with reflective conversation. Sessions may include finding small steps toward change, practicing coping skills, and noticing patterns that get in the way of the life someone wants. Lanette aims for clear, doable strategies rather than jargon or long lists of tasks.

    She encourages people to be gentle with themselves during the process. If you are feeling unsure about starting, Lanette’s approach is to meet you where you are and help set realistic next steps.

  2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find personal reasons to change. Online sessions using this approach often focus on clear, respectful conversation to build motivation and set small goals.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. In virtual sessions this looks like careful listening, reflecting what someone says, and letting the client guide the pace and topics of work.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into small steps. Online CBT can include practicing skills, tracking patterns between sessions, and trying brief experiments to test new ways of coping.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lanette will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. She checks in about how methods are working and adjusts the plan together.

    If you prefer to try therapy online, confirm the current session options before booking. This profile does not list specific formats, so ask which formats are available when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting you join when leaving work for a break. Licensed professionals can bring the same conversational skills and practical tools to an online session as they do in person.
