About Lynnie
Lynnie Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues common to young adults. She also supports people dealing with codependency, emptiness, jealousy, and struggles around life purpose.
She offers a straightforward, evidence-informed approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviors, and values so clients can try new ways of coping with difficult feelings.
Her work includes addressing obsessive thoughts and patterns linked to OCD, and seasonal changes in mood such as Seasonal Affective Disorder. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and build routines and strategies that fit daily life.
LGBTQ+ concerns are an explicit area of focus, and she tailors conversations to the needs that come up for sexual and gender minority clients. She helps people explore self-love and identity without labels or pressure.
Therapeutic methods come from acceptance and commitment work, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior skills. Sessions are collaborative and aim to give concrete tools you can use between meetings.
To get started, clients follow a simple intake and schedule a first session. Lynnie practices in Texas and works in English.
How Lynnie’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect your values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and the uncertainty common in early adulthood by building direction rather than chasing constant mood change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is useful for social anxiety, depression, and obsessions where concrete practice matters.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Lynnie treats this as a collaborative process. She will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means you and the therapist can try skills-focused CBT techniques, ACT values work, or DBT-informed emotion regulation together as needed.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or busy days. They can shorten commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let you practice skills in the environment where daily challenges occur. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to the session format so progress is practical and relevant to your life.
