About Lynn
Lynn Bertram is a licensed clinical social worker with 34 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and life changes. Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, workplace pressures, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is warm and direct. Sessions are interactive and focused on practical steps you can try between meetings. She treats people with respect and centers their strengths when planning next steps.
Background and approach
Lynn combines clear problem-solving with attention to personal values. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused approaches to shape goals that feel realistic.
She helps parents navigate adoption and foster care concerns and supports caregivers facing burnout. Lynn has long experience in school settings and has worked with military-connected young people, bringing a trauma-informed perspective to those situations. In session she will listen, suggest small experiments, and revise the plan as needed.
Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and build steady coping skills. If someone is ready to change, she works with them to set achievable steps and track progress.

How Lynn’s approaches translate to online therapy
Lynn often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and building goals that match a person’s values and strengths.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean testing one strategy for a few sessions and then adjusting the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quieter option. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer shorter written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or a demanding work week.
