About Lynn

Dr. Lynn Grattan is an MD psychologist with 35 years of clinical and neuropsychology experience in Maryland who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also brings expertise addressing issues related to aging and geriatric care, attachment and relationship dynamics, body image, cancer-related concerns, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control and impulsivity challenges, and cognitive or intellectual disability. Her practice emphasizes individualized care that responds to each person’s strengths and circumstances.

Treatment commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies, client-centered listening, existential-phenomenological perspectives, coping skills work, and practical problem-solving. Those methods are woven together as needed to target symptoms, build resilience, and support clearer decision making.

She offers sessions in multiple online formats and tailors pacing and goals to the person’s needs and preferences, aiming to enhance daily functioning and overall well-being.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care



Dr. Grattan commonly uses cognitive-behavioral strategies that focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage ADHD-related challenges. She also incorporates client-centered methods that prioritize active listening and empathy to help people explore values, build self-confidence, and find direction during life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process; Dr. Grattan works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, her online practice emphasizes flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work and family commitments, allow for varied communication styles, and provide options for pacing between appointments.
