About Lynn
Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, addiction, and trauma. She also supports people coping with depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting strain, and life changes. Lynn brings 21 years of experience to her work and speaks English. She is available to international clients as noted in her profile.
Lynn’s style is interactive and respectful. She aims to avoid labels that get in the way and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Conversations tend to clarify what matters to each person and identify small, do-able changes to improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach draws on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral ideas, plus elements of existential and mindfulness work. That mix helps with mood, anxiety, sleep, addictive behaviors, and motivation to change. Sessions are organized around the individual’s goals and readiness to try new strategies.
Lynn also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support people who are ambivalent about change. She helps clients weigh options, set reachable goals, and build confidence in taking steps forward. Therapy can include tools for managing panic, improving sleep habits, coping with grief, and addressing burnout or compassion fatigue.
People who choose Lynn can expect a collaborative process that balances practical tools with thoughtful reflection. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Lynn’s approaches fit with online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and preferences. It emphasizes listening closely and shaping sessions around each person’s needs, which can help when addressing sleep problems, grief, or relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and offers specific tools and homework. CBT techniques commonly help with anxiety, panic, depression, and sleep difficulties. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to boost readiness for change. It is useful for people wrestling with substance use, ambivalence about new habits, or low motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, priorities, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed so the plan fits the client’s life and rhythm.

In general, online therapy can make attending sessions easier around work, caregiving, and travel. It can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals can help adapt mindfulness exercises, CBT skills, and motivational techniques to fit remote sessions and day-to-day routines.
