Lynne Peters, LCPC

Lynne Peters is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She aims to create straightforward, practical conversations so clients can see clear next steps. Her style is calm and focused on the problems people bring in the moment. With 13 years of experience, Lynne uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices help with emotional regulation and staying present under pressure. Lynne also addresses issues related to family of origin, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She works with people dealing with abandonment, commitment concerns, divorce and separation, and first responder issues. Drug and alcohol addiction, co-morbidity, and trauma-related concerns are part of her focus as well. She practices in Maryland and holds the LCPC credential from Maryland. Sessions are conducted in English. Lynne emphasizes achievable goals and small steps that fit into everyday life rather than distant or vague targets. People who choose her can expect practical strategies paired with attentive listening. She asks questions, offers tools to try between sessions, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

Approach-driven online therapy and what to expect

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals so work in sessions feels relevant and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to prioritize. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as you make progress. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the exact delivery options before booking to know whether phone, video, or another format will be used. The focus remains on practical skills and steady progress that fit everyday routines.
