About Lanette
Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine. She has four years of professional experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, mood challenges, trauma, and related issues. She aims to make the first steps into therapy less intimidating and acknowledges how hard that step can be.
She creates a calm space where people can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical strategies and everyday language. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, while remaining warm and respectful. Lanette blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
That means she listens first, then helps people try small behavior or thinking changes that can reduce distress. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when appropriate. She often helps people who are managing addictive behaviors, grief, anger, and relationship stress.
Lanette also supports those dealing with dissociation, attachment difficulties, identity questions, and co-occurring conditions such as bipolar disorder or depression. She stays focused on what you want to change and how to get there step by step. Therapy with Lanette typically explores current problems, builds coping skills, and practices new patterns between sessions.
Her aim is to help clients feel more capable of handling daily stressors and to increase emotional balance over time.
How approaches and online options work together
Lanette uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior therapy to help with anxiety, stress, addictive behaviors, mood concerns, and trauma. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard before any skill work starts. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful cycles. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lanette will work with each person to match strategies to their goals, needs, and comfort level. She starts by asking what matters most, then adjusts methods over time if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good short check-in when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide convenient options for brief updates, skill practice, or when scheduling a full session is difficult. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
