About Lynn
Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with 21 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related areas listed below.
She uses practical, conversational sessions that emphasize how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behavior. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered, existential, mindfulness, and motivational approaches. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking, try new responses, and build steady skills for daily life.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing substance use and trauma-related concerns. Lynn mixes problem-focused strategies with questions that clarify values and personal goals. That combination supports both short-term symptom relief and longer-term planning.
In sessions she often teaches concrete exercises such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and focused mindfulness practices. She also uses conversational methods to explore meaning, choices, and motivation when clients want that. The result is a toolbox of practical techniques plus reflective discussion.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How Lynn’s approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT typically include reviewing recent situations, tracking thoughts, and assigning short between-session experiments to test new ways of responding. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and many daily habits.Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. In an online meeting this can help clarify values, priorities, and immediate goals through guided conversation and question-based exploration.
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. When concerns involve life purpose, midlife change, or grief, those conversations help people weigh options and plan next steps while also using practical strategies for symptoms.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try what seems to fit, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and responses. That makes it easier to mix skill-based CBT with reflective or motivational work as needed.
The original profile does not list specific session formats explicitly, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support continuity when life or work plans change. Therapists generally help match session length and frequency to what fits a person's routine and objectives.
