About Lynne

Lynne Finger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, addiction, and life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady support when things feel overwhelming or stuck. She listens first and then helps people find clear, manageable steps.

Sessions focus on understanding what keeps patterns going and on building skills to cope. She aims to make hard topics easier to talk about and to help people find breathing room amid strong emotions.

Background and approach

With 25 years of experience, Lynne brings practical know-how to common problems like low self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns, and challenges related to ADHD or bipolar mood swings. She also addresses issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, chronic illness, and grief.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and long practice in North Carolina mental health care. Her style mixes insight work with focused strategies. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns, and she pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle present problems.

Somatic and trauma-focused approaches are used when the body or past trauma shows up in sessions. People come to her to reduce overwhelming feelings, to manage relationships better, or to get through big life transitions. She works with clear goals and collaborates on a plan that fits each person's needs and pace.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at long-standing patterns and early influences that shape how people relate and respond. It helps uncover why old reactions keep repeating and supports changes in how someone understands themselves and others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process lets therapy stay flexible as needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or hands-free interaction is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, short reflections between sessions, or written processing for people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
