About Lynne
Lynne Peters welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or struggles with addiction. She introduces calm steps and clear options so someone can start feeling more in control. Lynne Peters, MD, LCPC, focuses on practical changes people can use right away.
She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions look different for everyone - sometimes they focus on thoughts and behaviors, sometimes on building new coping skills, and sometimes on gentle mindfulness exercises.
Background and approach
The aim is to find small shifts that add up to real relief. With 13 years of experience, Lynne has worked in a range of settings and with a variety of concerns. She brings techniques from several approaches and adapts them to what feels useful for the person in front of her.
That flexibility helps when problems are layered or long-standing. Common areas she addresses include trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and family of origin issues. She also helps people with caregiver stress, first responder issues, and challenges around communication and commitment.
Addiction and co-occurring mental health struggles are part of her practice as well. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. People can expect clear strategies, homework they can manage, and a focus on steps that fit daily life.
Lynne practices in Maryland and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person and their goals, using listening and reflection to help someone feel heard and decide what matters. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting values, choices, and emotions in a calm, accepting space.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses structured exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Those practical tasks adapt well to video or phone sessions and can be used between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improved communication. It is useful for people facing strong emotions or repeated crises and works through teaching and practicing skills together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, then try methods that fit the person. Sessions are collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or continued coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
