Dr. Lynn Grattan, Psychologist

Dr. Lynn Grattan is a psychologist with 35 years of clinical experience in Maryland. She sees people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem, ADHD, depression, grief, and major life changes. She also helps those managing cognitive concerns such as traumatic brain injury and post-concussion symptoms.

Her work begins by listening to each person's story and priorities. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life. She uses straightforward strategies to improve coping, problem solving, and daily functioning.

Lynn typically draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered approaches that prioritize the person’s values and goals. When appropriate, existential phenomenological ideas help people find meaning through difficult transitions.

Therapy often combines skills-based coping tools with collaborative problem solving. That can include setting small goals, practicing strategies between sessions, and checking what is working. Lynn emphasizes empowering the person to make steady, manageable changes.

Her background spans psychology and neuropsychology, with long experience supporting adults facing medical, emotional, and cognitive challenges. She welcomes questions about how her approach might fit a particular concern before scheduling a first session.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Dr. Grattan commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation issues.

She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening, validation, and goals the person sets. That helps people clarify values and make practical choices that match their priorities. When life transitions raise questions of meaning, she may draw on existential phenomenological ideas to support reflection and decision making.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will work together to decide which methods fit the person’s needs and preferences, and may adjust strategies as progress is tracked.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from home or a quiet location. It can also make shorter check-ins or follow-up conversations easier to schedule between in-person visits.
