About Lynne

Lynne Peters is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Maryland with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Lynne emphasizes practical steps that people can use between sessions.

Her approach mixes clear, skill-based methods with a listening style that centers the client's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests different responses. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s priorities and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills when intense feelings are present.

Lynne has worked in a range of settings and with varied client situations over her career. She often addresses related issues such as abandonment worries, family of origin problems, communication problems, caregiver stress, and problems connected to substance use. She will talk through problem patterns and help set small, achievable goals.

Sessions are practical and focused. People can expect concrete techniques to try between meetings, like thought records, grounding exercises, or behavior experiments drawn from the approaches she uses. Progress is measured by what changes in daily life.

To begin, Lynne asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.

How Lynne uses structured approaches in online sessions

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is used for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include homework like thought records or behavioral experiments to try between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation follows the person's priorities and pace. The therapist listens for what matters most and helps people set practical goals based on their values. DBT contributes specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lynne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed. The emphasis is on clear steps and measuring small changes over time.

The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking. When arranging online care, people often find it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when life is busy. Ask about current session options during the matching questionnaire so the format matches practical needs and daily routines.
