About Lanette
Lanette Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Maine with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, mood instability, grief, and anger. She also supports those dealing with substance use, trauma, and challenges related to identity and attachment.
Lanette aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens first, then helps clients set small, doable goals to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build coping skills. These methods are used to tackle problems such as impulsivity, compulsive behaviors, and strained relationships.
Lanette has particular experience with addiction-related concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar and severe mood disturbance, and issues that overlap with intellectual disability and co-morbidity. She also addresses topics related to LGBT identity, immigration stress, and sexual diversity such as kink and BDSM when they are part of someone’s goals.
People who prefer clear plans and a steady, respectful listener tend to fit well with her style. She encourages small steps and regular check-ins so progress is visible and manageable.

How evidence-based techniques come alive online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps identify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. These approaches can help with anxiety, anger, low mood, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different tools and checking in regularly to see what helps most, so the plan is tailored and flexible.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions and skills practice. Phone calls can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life and commitments.
