About Lanette

Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with four years of professional experience. She guides people through stress, anxiety, substance use challenges, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, and concerns related to grief, anger, and identity.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with issues like dissociation, domestic violence, and addiction, along with a range of personality and attachment-related difficulties. Lanette prioritizes creating a nonjudgmental, open atmosphere where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings.

She emphasizes safety and connection as the foundation of the therapeutic relationship and uses evidence-informed approaches to support change. Clients can expect a collaborative process in which goals are shaped together and practical coping skills are introduced alongside deeper exploration.

She offers a mix of therapeutic strategies tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Lanette encourages those taking the first steps toward therapy, acknowledging the courage it takes to begin and focusing on steady, practical progress.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Lanette integrates Internal Family Systems, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support online work. Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity rather than judgment, which can be useful for addressing trauma responses, shame, and conflicted feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic stance where the person’s own goals and experiences guide the work, helping with emotional processing and building trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills development.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will explore needs, goals, and preferences together and may combine methods over time to find what fits best. This partnership helps tailor sessions to each person’s pace and priorities rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Lanette is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care during life transitions, while allowing therapists to use structured CBT exercises, reflective IFS work, or client-centered conversation in formats that work for the client.
