About Lynne
Lynne Peters is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Lynne also focuses on issues like abandonment, family of origin problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.
She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and trying small, doable changes. She also brings mindfulness practices to help people notice intense emotions without getting overwhelmed.
Lynne combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. In practice that looks like listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and offering concrete strategies to manage difficult feelings and urges. She draws on Imago ideas when communication and relationship patterns are part of the concern.
Sessions often explore how family history, blended family dynamics, or past losses contribute to present guilt, shame, or emptiness. Lynne can help unpack patterns around commitment, control, and communication so clients can try different responses in daily life. Work on addiction and co-occurring issues includes motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
Her style favors clear steps over long abstractions. People leave sessions with focused skills to practice between meetings and simple ways to notice progress. To begin, the site process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
How Lynne uses CBT, DBT and client-centered work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their values and decide what they want to change without pressure.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting when anxiety, guilt, or shame shows up.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and managing urges. DBT skills can be useful when someone struggles with self-harm urges, strong shame, or persistent emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which combines best with a client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as needs change.
