    About Lynn

    Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward, respectful language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for a worried parent or an overwhelmed person. Sessions emphasize practical steps and personal strengths rather than labels.

    Lynn brings 21 years of clinical experience to sessions. She focuses on helping people cope with life changes, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, panic, and trauma-related challenges.

    Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox to help people clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change. Existential ideas are used when people are wrestling with meaning, purpose, or midlife concerns.

    In the room, she works in an interactive and compassionate way. Conversations aim to identify practical steps and build skills for everyday life. She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors work to each person’s needs.

    Lynn accepts international clients and offers sessions from her Maine practice. People who choose to work with her typically start by describing their main concern and current goals, and then together they map out a simple plan to move forward.

  2. How her approaches guide online therapy

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and insomnia. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons to change and is useful for addictions and habit change.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust the plan as needed.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion. Licensed professionals aim to support progress in ways that fit each person’s schedule and needs.
