How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Lynne uses methods that translate well to conversation and guided exercises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it works well for anger tied to stress, anxiety, or mood swings. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring relationship and emotional patterns to understand why certain reactions keep happening; it helps when anger feels linked to past hurts. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and simple grounding techniques so people can notice tension and respond differently when they feel overwhelmed.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust what they use based on what helps most. Sessions can mix approaches so work on immediate coping skills sits alongside deeper pattern work.
