About Lynn

Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 21 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and attention-related concerns including ADHD.

Background and approach

She practices from Maine and combines an empathetic, nonjudgmental presence with practical strategies to help clients manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change. Her style is interactive and respectful, emphasizing each person’s strengths and capacity to make choices that support healthier functioning.

Lynn draws from client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and existential ideas, adding mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques as tools when appropriate. Treatment is individualized to match the specific goals and circumstances a client brings to therapy.

Clients can expect collaborative work focused on finding greater peace, contentment, and purpose. Lynn is open to working with people across different locations and accepts international clients, offering flexible session formats to fit varied schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's priorities; it is useful for people seeking support, clarity, and a collaborative environment to explore personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical, skills-based strategies to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and many life challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation practices that help reduce stress and increase emotional resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynn works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting plans over time rather than insisting on a single method. That partnership helps tailor interventions to what actually helps the person make progress.

Online therapy brings practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit sessions into busy lives and connect from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins between longer sessions, and use tools like guided mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets within the flow of remote work.
