About Lynne

Lynne Peters is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Maryland with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Lynne also focuses on issues such as abandonment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and first responder issues.

She prefers straightforward, practical work. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning skills to manage mood and anxiety, and setting small, reachable goals. Lynne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing among other approaches to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Her background includes work in a range of settings with diverse clients. That experience shaped a flexible style that adjusts to what each person brings to sessions. She listens for what matters most and then focuses on steps that can produce change.

When addiction or trauma are involved, Lynne addresses both the immediate concerns and the factors that keep problems going. She helps people develop coping skills, improve communication, and manage crises so they can function day to day.

Young adults navigating leaving home, early careers, relationships, and identity questions may find the focus useful. She offers direct, skills-based support aimed at practical progress rather than long theoretical discussion.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It involves reflective listening, clarifying what you want, and shaping sessions around your goals. This approach helps with stress, mood struggles, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems active. It uses short exercises, homework, and practical strategies to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is useful for managing day-to-day worry, low mood, and addiction triggers.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings in skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal behavior. It is often used when strong emotions or self-destructive patterns cause repeated problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your goals, preferences, and the issues you bring. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements from different approaches to match what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography did not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Expect practical skill practice, focused conversations, and planning that you can use between sessions.
