About Lynne

Lynne Healey is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 22 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Her work also includes issues such as grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and bipolar concerns.

She uses clear, direct conversations to help people find ways forward. Sessions focus on practical skills and coping strategies that fit daily life. She draws on approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors, and present experience to reduce distress and build more effective patterns.

Her background includes long experience supporting trauma survivors and people affected by school shootings. Lynne matches treatment to each person’s needs and goals rather than following one fixed method. She also helps with problems linked to caregiving, chronic illness, blended family arrangements, and attachment or abandonment concerns.

Lynne integrates client-centered work with CBT and mindfulness techniques to teach concrete tools. She also uses DBT skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. EMDR is part of her toolkit for people processing traumatic memories, with attention to each person’s readiness.

She works with people from varied cultural backgrounds and with diverse life stories. To begin, she asks about current struggles and priorities, then outlines practical steps and options for sessions. The approach is steady and task-focused, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving everyday functioning.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's concerns and reflects back what matters most. This approach helps adults clarify goals, sort priorities, and feel understood during remote sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT typically uses short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. These tools can be practiced between meetings and reviewed together by phone or video.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. In online work DBT skills are taught in short, focused stages so people can try them during daily life and bring results back to sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, past treatments, and current needs to decide what to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when full sessions are not practical. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and how the subscription model works when you book.
