About Lynly
Lynly Curtis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and big life changes. Lynly also supports people facing parenting strain, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career stress.
Her approach centers on recognizing strengths and building practical skills. Sessions usually involve talking through patterns, practicing coping strategies, and developing small, doable changes that fit day-to-day life. She draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused methods.
Lynly can bring mindfulness practices and emotion regulation tools into sessions when they are useful. She may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for trauma-related symptoms alongside skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions.
She is open to including a client’s faith in the work when the client wants that. The focus stays on what helps a person functioning better between sessions - clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more reliable coping.

How Lynly’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities and preferences. In practice this means sessions begin with what feels most urgent, and the therapist listens and reflects to clarify goals. It helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and figuring out next steps in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions use simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and work or study stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce distress linked to painful memories. When appropriate, parts of EMDR can be integrated with grounding and skills work to manage intense reactions between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative planning makes it easier to fit therapy around school, early career hours, and shifting schedules.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. This step ensures the session type matches practical needs - for example a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth is limited or a video session for a fuller face-to-face conversation. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around classes, shifts, or caregiving duties without promising a particular format.
