Lanette Bryant

Lanette Bryant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Maine with four years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, substance use, trauma and bipolar-related concerns. Lanette emphasizes creating a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.

She uses simple, practical ways to help people cope. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person. From there she and the client set small, concrete goals to try between meetings. This approach helps people build steady skills and notice progress.

Lanette draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when those skills fit the situation.

Her work includes supporting people with addiction, grief, anger, and relationship stressors. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, dissociation, and intellectual disability among other concerns. Lanette aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable.

Taking a first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. Lanette encourages straightforward, compassionate conversations and helps people plan small steps forward.

How Lanette Uses Practical Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s goals and values at the center of work. The therapist listens carefully and helps shape sessions around what feels most important to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that keep problems going and testing small behavior changes to see if things shift. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches clear skills for handling strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lanette will work together with the person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and what needs adjustment so the plan can change over time.

Shorter check-ins can fit into a workday break, and skill practice can be assigned between sessions to build steady progress.
