About Lynnie
Lynnie Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on clear, practical steps to ease overwhelming thoughts and rebuild confidence. Her style is warm and affirming, especially for people in the LGBT community seeking a respectful, understanding space.
She works at a pace set by each person. Sessions focus on small, manageable skills for coping with anxiety, social fears, obsessive thoughts, and seasonal mood shifts.
Background and approach
Conversations also cover relationships, self-esteem, and finding purpose when life feels empty. Lynnie uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to support values-driven change and self-acceptance.
Dialectical behavior skills help when emotions feel intense or overwhelming. In practical terms, therapy includes learning tools to handle anxiety in the moment, building routines for low-energy seasons, and practicing new ways of relating to others. Work often involves homework between sessions so gains carry into daily life.
People can expect a collaborative process that honors their goals and pace. The focus is on building lasting habits and clearer self-understanding rather than quick fixes. Lynnie aims to help each person move toward steadier emotional balance and more satisfying relationships.
Approaches that fit online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life purpose questions, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxious and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and blend methods when helpful. This is a collaborative process that adjusts over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady progress.
