01About Lynnie
Lynnie Smith is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles. She also provides an affirming space for LGBT concerns and related identity questions.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She listens first and focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions aim to produce practical steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to match how fast someone wants to move. Lynnie draws on several therapy approaches to match the problem at hand. She uses cognitive work to challenge unhelpful thinking.
She also practices acceptance-based methods to reduce the struggle with difficult emotions. When needed, skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used to stabilize strong emotions and improve coping. She pays attention to patterns like codependency, jealousy, compulsive behaviors, and feelings of emptiness.
Seasonal mood shifts and issues common in young adulthood are also addressed. The focus is on small, usable changes that add up over time. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and an emphasis on building self-compassion.
The work centers on helping people find clearer values, make choices that fit those values, and feel more grounded day to day.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and finding clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, concentrates on identifying patterns of thought that feed distress and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms. It works well for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynnie will talk with each person about what feels useful and adjust methods over time. Together they set goals, try strategies, and check what helps so the plan fits the person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the work feel close to an in-person session. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and moments of reflection without scheduling a full call.
