Lynly is a great therapist. She listens and really caters to what you need as an individual. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Reviewed September 2023

Lynly is kind but not afraid to challenge me (as that is something I want). She is very flexible, reading journal entries and responding to messages outside of the scheduled sessions. She also provides worksheets when I request them. The best way to describe her is warm and works together with you!

More about Lynly

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-C, LCSW, LICSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with over a decade of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, life changes, trauma and relationships. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them. I am here to offer a safe place to explore and express yourself without fear of judgement.

My therapy style is warm and understanding. We can incorporate your faith as much or as little as you would like to. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and empathy. I like to incorporate aspects from multiple therapeutic approaches primarily CBT, EMDR, Client Centered Approach, and IFS. I also believe your treatment should be custom tailored to your specific needs and we will work together to achieve just that.

Seeking help is the most important and probably most difficult step to take but you did it and you are not alone.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
