About Lynn
Lynn Tijssen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, grief, anger, sleep and eating struggles, and life transitions.
Her style is interactive and respectful. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical conversation about what is happening now. Sessions are straightforward - she listens, asks questions, and helps people identify small changes they can try between meetings.
Lynn uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered work to focus on the person's perspective and CBT to spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Mindfulness tools are used to calm intense emotion, and existential ideas help people look at values and meaning when life feels stuck.
In practice she helps people set realistic goals and notices what gets in the way of those goals. She also brings motivational interviewing when someone is ambivalent about change, and practical problem-solving for day-to-day issues like sleep, parenting, or work stress.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session via the site.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own viewpoint. In practice that means the therapist listens carefully, follows what matters to the client, and helps clarify goals. This approach helps when someone wants a space to talk things through and make decisions about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions may include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity. These tools can help when anger or anxiety feels overwhelming and someone needs ways to calm down in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
