About Lynn
Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, depression, and relationship or family problems. She brings 21 years of clinical experience to her work and aims to help people find steadier ground during hard seasons. Sessions are practical and focused on what matters most to each person.
Lynn uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals up front.
Background and approach
She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help calm intense feelings and improve sleep and eating patterns. Her style is interactive and respectful.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people as partners in the work. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people make clear choices that match their values. Lynn also draws on existential ideas when people are wrestling with life purpose, midlife changes, or grief.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs a boost in readiness to change, such as with substance use or other habits. She meets people where they are and adapts methods to fit each situation. Lynn accepts international clients and works in English.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit varied schedules and needs.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions center on the client's priorities and values, helping them make choices that fit their life. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with loss.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions use short, clear exercises to test thoughts and build new habits, which can ease anxiety, panic, mood dips, and anger reactions.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These practices can be useful for stress, sleep troubles, cravings, and staying grounded during strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to keep or change.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video lets for longer, face-to-face conversations; phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text messaging works well for short check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep a steady rhythm of care around work, travel, or caregiving duties.
