Background and approach
Her credentials are listed as LMFT and LCSW. She helps people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, and relationship and family issues. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving and end-of-life matters, and stress related to major life changes.
Dr. Lennox draws on several practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, solution-focused work, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions aim to build useful skills, change unhelpful patterns, and set realistic goals that fit each person’s life.
Most work is done through conversation and skills practice. She emphasizes clear communication and collaborative planning so people leave with concrete next steps. Her style is direct but warm, helping people move from feeling stuck to finding manageable ways forward.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Dr. Lennox commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions to manage intense feelings.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend methods to try. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted if needed so the work fits the person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and skill practice, phone works well for lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, and text or chat can suit short updates or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue care across different locations.
