Lynne Peters , MD, LCPC

Lynne Peters is a Maryland-based therapist with 13 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and depression. She holds an MD - Doctor of Medicine - and an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - credentials, and she draws on a broad, practical skill set developed while working with children, young adults, individuals, and families across diverse settings.

Her practice uses an eclectic, client-focused approach that adapts to each person’s needs and goals. Interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing are applied alongside other tools to support measurable progress, reduce symptoms, and strengthen everyday coping. Lynne emphasizes realistic, obtainable steps and collaborative planning so clients can explore healthier choices and expand possibilities that once felt out of reach.

Whether the concern is relationship tension, substance use, caregiving stress, or the lingering impact of past trauma, she aims to meet clients where they are and tailor strategies that fit their lives. Her work centers on clear goals, compassionate guidance, and practical skills that help individuals and families move forward with greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lynne Peters integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions in ways that are practical and person-focused. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration - it helps individuals explore their own goals and build self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) where skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness can be helpful, particularly for intense emotions or relationship challenges. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Lynne works collaboratively with each client to select methods that match their needs, preferences, and goals rather than applying a single formula.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on clear goals and practical tools in ways that fit each person’s routine.
