About Lanette

Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine. She brings four years of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, substance use, trauma, bipolar symptoms, and mood concerns. Lanette aims to make the first step feel doable and meets people where they are.

Lanette keeps sessions straightforward and calm. She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Safety and connection are central to how she approaches the work.

Her approach blends practical skills with a warm, person-focused stance. She uses client-centered conversations to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different ways of responding.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps with intense emotions and building coping skills, while Mindfulness Therapy adds simple practices for staying present. Motivational Interviewing is used when substance use or ambivalence about change is part of the picture.

Lanette works with a wide range of concerns including grief, anger, LGBT issues, family-related stress, and co-occurring conditions. She also addresses issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation, and problems related to impulse control.

People who choose Lanette can expect a collaborative process that mixes listening with concrete tools. If you’re ready to begin, she asks that you use the Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

Approaches that guide online work and tools for everyday life

Lanette blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to make online sessions practical and human. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person’s priorities and values, helping them feel heard and understood. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety and mood changes. DBT provides skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Lanette will listen to your goals, notice what helps in early sessions, and suggest tools to try. Together you can adjust methods and homework so the work fits your life and aims.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Lanette’s methods translate well to remote work because they emphasize skill practice, brief experiments, and conversational planning. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time to attend regularly. Talk with her during the matching process about how sessions could fit into your routine and which ways of meeting would work best for you.
