About Lynne
Lynne Healey is a licensed mental health counselor (Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people coping with grief, self-esteem struggles, sleep or eating problems, and career or parenting strain. She brings 22 years of clinical experience and years working with trauma survivors.
That background informs how she builds a treatment plan and how she talks with people about painful experiences.
Background and approach
She matches approaches to each person rather than using one fixed method. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and skills. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for trauma work and mindfulness practices to build awareness and calm. Her approach is collaborative and paced to what a person can manage in the moment.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations, skill-building, and gentle processing of painful memories when needed. Lynne aims to be a steady support while people practice new ways of coping. Her Florida practice has included work with people from many cultural backgrounds.
She accepts people who prefer sessions in English and works with international clients as well. Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach begin with open conversation about goals and priorities, and the therapist adapts to the person's pace and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches practical exercises people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication; it often includes coaching around practicing those skills in daily life.Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, review past experiences with therapy, and suggest methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. That plan can change as work progresses and new priorities arise.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists observe body language and hold more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing notes between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
