About Lynnie
Lynnie Smith is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, relationships, and trauma and abuse. She also works with codependency, emptiness, jealousy, life purpose, obsessive thoughts and OCD patterns, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, social anxiety and young adult issues.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people handle difficult feelings and confusing thoughts. Sessions often include talking through what is happening now, noticing unhelpful thinking, and practicing new ways of responding. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work depending on the situation.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps people clarify values and try small behavior changes that match those values. For someone with social anxiety this might mean step-by-step exposure tasks. For obsessive thinking it may include strategies to reduce rumination and reactivity.
Lynnie also pays attention to identity and relationship concerns. She supports LGBTQ individuals and others seeking an affirming, progressive approach to questions of belonging and self-worth. She talks plainly about boundaries, communication, and patterns that keep relationships stuck.
People who come for therapy can expect short-term skill building alongside deeper exploration when needed. To begin she asks about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That shapes the plan for sessions moving forward.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice inner experiences, clarify personal values, and take actions that matter. In short sessions ACT supports people who feel stuck by shifting focus from struggling with thoughts to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it uses practical exercises like thought records and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and uses reflective listening to deepen self-understanding and strengthen motivation.Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and how much skill practice versus exploration feels right. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize ACT values work, CBT skills, DBT strategies, or a client-centered stance.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and allow work on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals commonly use these benefits to help clients build consistent habits and practice new responses in everyday life.
