Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Lynnette and I applaud you for beginning this journey we call therapy. Whether you’re new to the therapy experience or you’ve been in therapy before, I am here to help you along your journey to wellness and wholeness. I have a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago and over 37 years of professional experience. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have engaged individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal and family conflict as well as parent-child relationships. I have also helped clients improve self-esteem, coping skills, adjust to major life changes as well as improve problem-solving and decision-making skills. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are the primary approaches utilized and clients are encouraged to actively participate in the therapy process by setting their own goals and evaluating progress towards achieving them. Finally, I am concerned about all aspects of a client’s life including your physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being. Therefore, nothing is “off-limits” during therapy, and I encourage clients to bring any issue/concern they may have to therapy sessions. Thank you for allowing me to share my background with you. I have daytime, evening, and weekend hours to meet your needs and look forward to working with you!

I have been working with Lynette for around nine months now, and I can confidently say that her expertise has helped me get to a place where I am more at peace with myself on a daily basis than I ever have been! Now, I can confidently say that I am learning the tools that I need to move forward as a more regulated adult! I think that Lynette has had a huge part to do with this

In our first session, she really listened and understood me. It felt like I could vent all my problems without feeling judged. She asked me some thoughtful questions that made me think, but she also helped me figure out what I can do to improve myself and achieve my goals.

Lynnette Thomas is an awesome therapist, first & foremost. She is an active listener, who, offers therapeutic techniques, based on my needs. She is a woman of faith and full of Godly wisdom. She cares about her patients and has a very sympathetic & empathetic nature. She shares her own personal experience with life issues (as applicable), that proves to be helpful with my life journey. She is a great advocate of self-care, which I lacked when I first began therapy with her. She has helped me to manage my anxiety, grief of mom’s death & high demands surrounding family issues & dysfunction.. She is knowledgeable regarding mental & medical issues that confronts my family & I, which helps me maneuver through them easier & more productively. I highly recommend Lynnette. She is a great asset as a therapist and I believe to the BetterHelp staff. I am forever grateful.

Lynnette Thomas has been the most competent, productive, and proactive health care professional I have ever met. I am twenty five and have been under the care of health professionals since before I was teen. No one has ever shown the stability and insight that Lynnette does. I don't doubt a single thing about her credentials and experience. I know that she can help me break down anything I bring to her and find the root cause. I've wanted to love the experience of my health care and make progress and I finally can.

I just wanted to give you a big thanks and a virtual hug for all your insights, words of encouragement, and all the positive reinforcements/affirmations. I didn't realize that I was holding on to so much baggage until we talked. Also, I have a different perspective on my life as a husband, father, and individual. I am learning to be more intentional about life in general because as you mentioned, things don't fall into place. My goal is to continue trying to strengthen my marriage and build my confidence as a father and individual.
Thank you!!

I accidentally push the wrong answer for one of the questions . Lynette is a very, very good counselor and I have been able to work through so challenges with the tools she’s giving me. I highly recommend her and I’ve recommend Faithfulcounseling to several others.

Lynnette did an amazing job getting me comfortable with therapy, as a first time for me. I was able to open up and talk about things i never knew were even an issue. That really helped me understand why I struggle with the things I struggled with. She helped with different topics, always open minded and offered tons of guidance through each session. Very appreciative of my time spent with her.

I only had a few sessions with Lynette but in that short time she gave me lots to think about and lots to chew on, which is exactly what I needed. She was quick to respond to my messages, always lent a listening ear, and even went over my journal entries during our video appointments to check back in with how I was feeling at the time versus how I am feeling now. I appreciate Lynette and her work so much. It's so refreshing to have a therapist who looked like me, somebody who I could relate to and somebody who I felt could relate to me.

Lynnette is so friendly and made me feel comfortable opening up pretty fast. I haven't had the best experience with therapy in the past so it's nice to talk to someone who really cares about what you are saying and is also knowledgeable and polite. She has been great with scheduling and always on time to our sessions. She makes therapy feel like talking to a friend while also being professional.
