More about Lynette

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Lynette Pitre and I am a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana. I have worked in the helping field for 20+ years. During my career I have been fortunate to work with a myriad of individuals. My experience includes working in psychiatric hospitals, nursing homes, out-patient clinics, and at a private practice. I have helped individuals manage their depression, anxiety, and anger. I have helped people overcome the struggles of living with ADHD. Also, I have aided those who have bipolar or postpartum depression.

My counseling approach is solution focused which is often integrated with CBT. I see us working as a team to accomplish the goals you want to reach. Together we will identify strengths and develop those strengths into tools that will get you through a variety of life’s challenges.

I look forward to joining your team!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

If I had to write a review for Lynette properly, I can write a full book chapter. She has been a big part of improvements in my life the past 1.5+ years and a constant voice of reason and support. I have seen improvement in myself and my mental health, priorities owing to our past and still ongoing sessions. Not only myself, she has indirectly helped my friends too. The voice inside me which I learnt to call the bully voice from her, has matured and nowadays is learning to behave as a reasonable voice, much like her. If you are looking for someone like that, someone with warmth, kindness, who will listen to you and cater her expertise and experience to your specific needs, choose her. Take care. :)
