About Lanette

Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine who brings four years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people address stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, and related challenges including grief, anger, and issues affecting LGBT clients. Lanette aims to create an environment where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Her approach emphasizes safety and connection as foundations for effective therapy, and she draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Lanette works collaboratively with clients to identify practical coping skills and to build insight into patterns that contribute to distress.

She supports clients through early steps of seeking help and encourages them to keep pace with change that fits their life and goals.

Approachable online therapy using practical tools

Lanette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates client-centered therapy principles, creating a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify values and goals to guide change. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for crises and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Lanette will work with clients to evaluate what feels most useful based on presenting concerns, personal preferences, and practical goals, adapting techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area.
