About Lynn
Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine with 21 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports those facing parenting strain, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, and major life changes.
Lynn uses an interactive, respectful style in sessions. She tends toward approaches that center the person's perspective and practical steps for change. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and what small changes might make daily life feel more manageable.
Her clinical approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside elements of existential and mindfulness therapy. That means sessions often include reflective listening, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts, and work that helps clarify values and priorities.
People who prefer direct, collaborative work can expect straightforward discussions and tools to use between sessions. Lynn pays attention to coping skills for anxiety, strategies for addiction recovery, and ways to address relationship and parenting stress.
She practices from Maine and conducts work in English. International clients are accepted. Practical details such as session formats should be confirmed before booking by using the platform's matching and scheduling flow.
How sessions work
How Lynn’s approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's perspective. It helps people clarify what matters to them and feel understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or compulsive habits. Existential Therapy encourages looking at personal values and life choices, which can help with midlife questions, grief, or finding meaning after loss.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Lynn will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals. Sessions often mix reflection with concrete tools so people can see what helps in everyday life and then adjust the plan together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm exact online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often find that remote sessions let people use skills between meetings in the places they live, which can support applying what is discussed in real time.
