About Lanette
Lanette Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW licensed in Maine with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also works with people navigating grief, anger, LGBT concerns, and family-related stress.
Lanette uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods in sessions. She listens to what is most pressing, then helps people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. Conversations include practical steps to test new responses and to manage urges or intense emotions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behavior strategies. She also uses Client-Centered ideas to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques are offered for emotion regulation and grounding during hard moments.
Lanette applies motivational interviewing when people are weighing change, especially around substance use and addictive behaviors. That method helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds small, doable plans.
Sessions are aimed at clear problems and concrete progress. People often work on symptom management, relapse prevention, coping after trauma, and improving daily routines. Lanette encourages short skills practice between sessions so learning translates into real life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Lanette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the agenda driven by the client’s immediate priorities, allowing the work to stay relevant and focused on what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness exercises are offered to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and grounding during intense moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lanette will review goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges with each person to decide which techniques to emphasize. She works with clients to set short-term targets and to adjust methods as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full appointment is not practical. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring those experiences back into sessions for review.
