Approaches Lynor lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's point of view. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps them name what matters, and supports decision making in ways that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Jackson will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try strategies together. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and doing focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Text-based messaging and live chat offer quick ways to touch base, practice skills, and get ongoing support between longer sessions.
