Lynette Maggs, LMHC

Lynette Maggs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She began her career in a community mental health agency and has years of experience working across common life struggles. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and related concerns.

Her early work involved supporting people and families affected by trauma. That experience shaped how she views recovery - as something that affects the individual, their family, and the larger community. She has supported people through anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and the everyday hurdles of life.

Maggs describes her style as empathetic, warm, and goal oriented. She centers clients in the work and helps them set clear goals. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps toward those goals so progress feels concrete.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors connect. She also uses Client Focused therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace. Together these approaches guide goal setting and practical strategies for coping.

Maggs holds a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and practices as an LMHC in Florida. She also draws on a long personal history that includes military family life and parenting, and she believes a bit of humor helps people get through hard times.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your needs

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating concerns, and stress.

She also uses Client Focused therapy, which centers the person’s priorities and pace. That means sessions follow what matters most to the client and build goals from there, useful for relationship concerns, grief, parenting struggles, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to agree on goals and to choose techniques that match those goals and preferences. Changes are paced so people can notice what helps and adjust as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online or in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in from different locations. Some formats can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits a schedule or bandwidth constraints.
