    About Lynette

    Lynette Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and rebuild routines when life feels overwhelming. Her approach is down-to-earth and rooted in active listening and respect for each person’s story.

    She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to set small, doable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses elements of existential and narrative therapy to help people make sense of meaning, loss, and identity.

    In sessions she offers concrete strategies for coping with panic, mood shifts, caregiving stress, and relationship struggles. She often works on skills for managing low mood, improving sleep patterns, and handling conflict. Parents and young adults are supported through transitions like postpartum changes, separation, or career shifts when that is part of the presenting concern.

    Based in Maine, Lynette blends listening with practical exercises. She helps people set realistic steps and checks in on progress. Her goal is to help clients feel more steady, more able to handle everyday demands, and clearer about their next steps.

    To begin, she asks people about their current struggles and goals, then collaborates on a plan that fits their life and pace. She emphasizes small changes that add up over time.

  2. Approaches to change and meaning in online therapy

    Lynette commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people identify what matters to them and to move toward small, achievable changes. This approach focuses on gentle conversation that clarifies values and builds internal motivation rather than pushing solutions from the outside.

    She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and lift mood. A third strand of her work draws on Existential Therapy ideas to help people consider questions of meaning, purpose, and identity during transitions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns emerge.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, comfort with video, and the kinds of exercises to try between meetings.
