My name is Lyn Bjorgo. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults presenting with a variety of concerns. Life change adjustment issues, eating disorders, and depression are the issues I treat most often.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is based on each individual client. I consider myself an eclectic therapist drawing largely from Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Person-Centered Theory, and Family Systems Theory. I consider it imperative to match my therapeutic approach(es) to the client rather than to a diagnosis in order to ensure a positive outcome.
My focus
My personality and therapeutic style tend to be effective with a variety of clients. These include clients in their late teens embarking on their next stage of life as well as those in early and middle adulthood navigating life changes, coping with day-to-day stressors and depression.
My communication style
My priority is to make each client I work with feel heard and validated without judgment. Clients are the experts of their own lives.
My journey to mental healthcare
After discovering the career path that others had for me was not my path, I embarked on a period of self-exploration. Psychology came easy to me and also fascinated me. Helping others better understand and accept themselves drove me to the field of counseling.
My goals for you
Goal setting in therapy is about defining what outcomes the client would like to achieve. While tentative goals may be discussed in the first or second session, I recognize trust and rapport must first be established. Goal setting and achievement is a process. It is not only important to recognize success in achieving goals but to identify and overcome barriers as well as change is not a linear process.
My first session with you
The initial session typically involves a lot of listening on my part. Questions will be asked in order to clarify and understand the client's current situation. I also provide the opportunity for clients to ask questions about me or address any concerns about therapy.
