Lynette Orth

My communication style

My communication style is grounded, direct, empathetic, and solution-focused. I am honest and help clients feel understood and supported through the process. My tone is calm, confident, and straightforward by reflecting in a clear, honest way that helps clients feel understood and oriented toward change to assist in breaking unhelpful patterns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have wanted to be a therapist for as long as I can recall. I obtained my BA & MA in psychology. I then worked in victim advocacy & human services for a few years before deciding to get my MSW degree. Being an LCSW has allowed me to work in a variety of settings and gain valuable experience that led me to the rewarding work of individual therapy.

My goals for you

I start by helping clients get clear and specific about what they actually want, not just what they want to escape. I assist in turning vague distress into defined, measurable goals and break them down into manageable steps. Identify patterns that keep the client stuck by teaching coping & regulation skills to keep the client moving forward.

Our first session

The first session will feel structured & the client will be asked questions to help understand what their needs are & assist in organizing the chaos they have been carrying. There will be active listening to assist in identifying goals and outlining a practical path forward so that the client leaves the first session feeling heard and hopeful.
