About Lynn
Lynn Anne Palmer is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and to feel more confident in day-to-day life. She works in New Hampshire and conducts sessions in English.
She believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening approach. Sessions start by hearing what matters most to the person and identifying small, practical steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Lynn uses straightforward, conversational guidance rather than technical language. Her work often addresses relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps with harder-to-name stresses such as caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and problems with communication and commitment.
Lynn pays attention to how attachment and past losses shape current patterns. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused work, attachment-based perspectives, and EMDR when trauma needs targeted attention. These methods are adapted to each person’s needs and comfort level.
The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and build clearer ways to cope. For people managing life transitions - divorce, aging concerns, recovery from substance issues, or eating and body-image struggles - she offers steady support and practical planning. Lynn encourages small experiments in real life to test new ways of relating and feeling safer in everyday moments.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions use conversation to notice these patterns and practice new ways of connecting with others and with oneself. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into specific steps to change. In online sessions this often means creating simple experiments and homework to try between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when trauma memories continue to cause distress; it involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of those memories and related reactions.Lynn helps people choose an approach that fits their needs. She will talk through goals and preferences and then tailor techniques collaboratively. Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work and can shift as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy and when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins, short-term support, and fitting therapy into a busy day.
