About Lynly
Lynly Curtis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland with ten years of professional experience. She holds the credential LCSW-C in Maryland and LICSW, and she helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.
She focuses on identifying a person’s strengths and building on those. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Lynly uses a mix of therapeutic methods and adapts them to what each person needs in the moment.
People looking for support around parenting, intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, or career stress will find her familiar with those concerns. She also works with more specific areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes. Her background includes work addressing trauma, abuse, and complicated loss.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered techniques and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when they fit the goals of the work. Mindfulness practices are used to help manage strong emotions and grounding.
Lynly invites people to discuss how their faith or personal beliefs might be included in sessions or not, depending on preference. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so the two of them can agree on next steps.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building on a person’s own strengths. The therapist uses this approach to help people talk through parenting stress, relationship concerns, or life changes and to shape goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It includes short, practical exercises and skills people can use between sessions to manage anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynly will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with Client-Centered conversations, adding CBT skills, and introducing DBT or EMDR techniques later if they seem helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when schedules demand it. Therapists will help plan how sessions fit into everyday life and adjust the pace and tools used as the work progresses.
