About Lynn
Lynn Anne Palmer is a licensed clinical social worker in New Hampshire with 40 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She approaches care with respect for each person’s story and strengths.
Lynn aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone ready to try something different. Her work draws on somatic ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. She listens for patterns in how stress and relationships show up in the body and in everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be practical and paced to match what someone can handle in the moment. Lynn also uses elements of cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused methods to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and strengthen emotional connections. That mix can support those dealing with abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and commitment issues.
She adapts tools to each person’s pace rather than following a fixed script. She has long experience supporting people facing chronic pain, caregiver stress, substance and eating issues, aging concerns, and complex mood problems. Her style is straightforward and grounded, with an emphasis on small, steady changes.
Lynn centers what the person already knows about themselves when planning next steps. People who prefer a calm, collaborative pace may find her approach helpful. She encourages honest conversation about goals and limits, and she works with each person to build skills they can use outside of sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how stress and emotion show up in the body. In online sessions this can mean noticing breath, posture, tension, and movement and using gentle prompts to bring awareness to those sensations. It is often helpful for people coping with chronic pain, anxiety, or trauma responses.Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online conversations focus on patterns in relationships and on building safer ways to express needs and set boundaries. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's perspective and pacing, offering reflective listening and practical support rather than a fixed plan.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to find methods that fit a person's goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. That means trying tools, checking in often, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or health needs and let people continue therapy from home or another suitable space. Many people find the variety of formats helps them stay consistent and apply skills between sessions.
