My name is Lynette and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NC. I have 12 years experience in mental health counseling including trauma therapy, communication issues, family therapy, parenting, and career concerns. I specialize in empowering individuals that may be struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar, and past and present trauma/abuse.
My main therapy approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which primarily uses strategies, coping skills and targeted talk therapy as the predominant interventions. Secondary to CBT, I use DBT, ACT, and Positive Psychology, which use talk therapy, but there again, are mainly made up of learning and applying strategies and coping skills. I do a great deal of exploring issues and with trauma use CPT, along with EMDR and The Flash Technique to process trauma memories and false beliefs.
In my experience, a great deal of healing and change come from awareness of how your thoughts, feelings, behavior, and actions influence each other, along with developing patterns that cause distress. To help change unhelpful perspectives and mindsets, I use research based interventions including writing, brief exposure to fears, mindfulness, and guided meditation to facilitate healing. I include spirituality, if requested, and solution focused therapy, along with other treatment vehicles and have seen good progress with many clients. Also, I use interventions based on the Client's personality and needs asking the Client to choose which therapy they want to use.
I am humbled that Clients want my help, and I offer empathy, a nonjudgmental presence, and compassion to assist Clients to gain awareness in reaching their full potential. However, I will also challenge you, especially if I see incongruence. I call myself “your cheerleader” offering a strong therapeutic relationship to promote your healing and change, which is according to research, the largest factor in healing.

Lynette helped me so much my first time in therapy that when I needed a second brush up after having a baby, I immediately knew I needed to go back to her again. She is considerate, great listener, and kind but also direct and helps you challenge the walls you have put up in your own mind. I am so grateful to have had Lynette as a therapist and thank God for her.

I came to Lynette for PTSD issues. I found her approach dynamic and engaging. Working with Lynette I feel it is easy to get down to my core issues and I feel heard. I admire that she is constantly improving her counseling skills and beginning new points of view to our sessions.

She is not afraid to tell me what I should think. She gives plenty of resources for me to read and study. She makes sure I am learning how to challenge my thoughts.
