About Lynn
Lynn Anne Palmer is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with clients who have faced trauma and abuse and supports people building self-esteem and confidence.
Background and approach
Her approach respects each person's strengths and life story. Lynn focuses on practical steps and steady support to help people move toward clearer goals.
In sessions she listens first, then helps identify small, doable changes. She draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and uses Attachment-Based ideas to explore how past bonds affect present connections.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps unpack unhelpful thoughts, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports stronger emotional understanding. Lynn has worked across many settings over four decades and brings that breadth to each conversation.
She helps people facing issues like abandonment, commitment concerns, communication problems, and caregiver stress. She also addresses chronic pain, illness, and co-occurring substance or eating issues.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect clear questions, reflective listening, and practical tools to try between sessions.
Lynn encourages gradual progress and honors the courage it takes to seek change. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her New Hampshire practice.
She frames therapy as a team effort and helps people set realistic, personally meaningful goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Many of Lynn's approaches adapt well to remote sessions. The Gottman Method looks at communication patterns and shared routines, so online sessions can include guided conversations and exercises to practice new ways of relating. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and uses talk and reflection to uncover those patterns and try different responses.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. Online work with this approach means the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support while helping the client name goals. Lynn will collaborate with each person to choose the right mix of methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming a single approach fits everyone.
Online formats offer real practical benefits. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules and help maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
