Lynn Anne Palmer , LICSW

Lynn Anne Palmer is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in New Hampshire with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person’s strengths.

She sees clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set realistic goals. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and to build small, steady changes that fit everyday life. Practical tools and gentle reflection are woven together in each session.

Lynn uses several methods to guide her work, including attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For trauma, she brings in EMDR elements when appropriate to address painful memories.

Over four decades she has supported people through divorce, addiction, chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image and commitment issues, and many other challenges. She helps people work through communication problems and attachment concerns that affect close relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with everyday actions. In remote sessions this often includes short between-session exercises and checking how new behaviors feel and work in daily life. EMDR, when used, offers structured ways to process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on current emotions; parts of EMDR can be adapted for discussion and guided exercises in virtual sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor methods to fit those needs. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact and work in a conversational format. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection and quick check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across changing life demands.
