Lanette Bryant, LCSW

Lanette Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Maine and brings four years of experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. Lanette aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly without feeling judged.

She centers sessions on building safety and connection between therapist and client. That starts with listening closely to what a person is facing, then mapping small, realistic steps forward. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in practical tools that people can try between meetings.

Lanette uses approaches drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She tailors techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. Sessions may include skills practice, goal setting, and reflection on patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her background includes supporting people through substance use challenges, mood difficulties such as bipolar disorder, and trauma-related concerns. Lanette is also familiar with issues like grief, anger, codependency, and problems linked to attachment and dissociation. She strives to respect each person’s values and identity while helping them make workable changes.

Lanette encourages taking small first steps toward help and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so people can connect and plan next steps.

How Lanette Uses Common Therapies Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them feel heard so problems can be looked at more clearly. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect one another and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends acceptance and change by teaching skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal moments; it is useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lanette will discuss options with each person and decide together what techniques fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs shift and progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use mindfulness or skills practice in the context of daily life, then talk about what happened in the next session.
