About Lynnie
Lynnie Smith helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma. She offers an affirming approach for LGBT clients and supports people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, obsessive thoughts, and social anxiety. Her style is calm and practical, focused on everyday steps that make a difference.
She uses clear tools to reduce worry and build more satisfying routines. Sessions look at what matters to each person and then practice small changes that fit daily life.
How Lynnie works
Lynnie draws on approaches that teach new ways to respond to painful thoughts and feelings and to build skills for handling strong emotions. With 15 years as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Texas, she has worked with a wide range of concerns linked to mood and self-worth. That experience shapes a flexible, person-centered style rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Clients can expect straightforward goals and gentle accountability. She pays attention to issues that often come up together, such as emptiness, jealousy, life purpose, seasonal mood changes, and the patterns behind compulsive behaviors. Therapy includes both listening and practical skills practice to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Lynnie helps people clarify values, strengthen self-love, and create manageable plans for change. The work aims for steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

How ACT, CBT, and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and struggles around purpose and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce worry, challenge unhelpful thinking, and change habits that fuel depression or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, offering supportive listening and reflection to help people feel heard and make their own choices.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what the person prefers and what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to settle on tools that fit daily life and the issues being addressed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for deeper sessions and skill practice, phone can work when video is difficult, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing skills coaching. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity between sessions.
