Lynne Healey , LMHC

Lynne Healey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Lynne also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, career shifts, and bipolar symptoms.

Lynne uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and attention in daily life.

When trauma is part of the picture, Lynne can include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, called EMDR, as a treatment option. She works with people on the effects of abandonment, attachment and blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and co-occurring issues like substance use and eating-related problems.

Lynne speaks English and sees clients in Florida. She is available to clients internationally. Her style is warm and direct, and she emphasizes hope and practical steps. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve relationships, and reduce distress.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. Lynne uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. It prioritizes the client's goals and pace, helping the therapist and client shape sessions around what matters most in the person's life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT can include homework, thought records, and skill practice to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns.

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is used for trauma work to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. When appropriate, elements of EMDR can be integrated into remote sessions in a step-by-step way that follows the client's readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the client's goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full sessions and visual connection. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option and easier when a camera isn't needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent steps toward goals. These formats help people fit care into busy lives and different time zones.
