More about Lynetta

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am licensed in California with 35 years of professional work experience with people struggling with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. In addition to my MFT licensure, I am also an addictions treatment counselor and a licensed psychiatric technician. I have experience in helping clients coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, stressful life changes, grief and loss, and I have experience working with veterans. I am a veteran myself (USAF), and I am an EMDR trained therapist. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step toward seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
