Lynn Novatt

Lynn Novatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practising in California with 17 years of experience. She combines clinical therapy and life and leadership coaching to help people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and big life changes. Lynn also lists coaching and life purpose among her focus areas.

Her sessions emphasize close listening and straightforward feedback. She uses practical exercises and conversation to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. Clients may be offered question prompts, worksheets, audio or reading materials when they choose to do work between sessions.

Lynn draws on methods like cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, positive psychology, and Gestalt to address everyday problems. She describes these as tools to help people get clearer about what matters and to try new ways of responding to stress or stuck patterns.

Her background includes a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica in addition to her LMFT credential. Lynn says her own therapeutic work shapes how she listens and gives feedback during sessions.

People who are uncertain about what comes next often find her approach direct and encouraging. She offers practical steps, question-based work, and materials readers can use outside sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Sessions are conducted in English and Lynn does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Evidence-based techniques mentioned in her background include cognitive-behavioral approaches, which focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. These methods often use practical exercises and homework to build new habits.

Mindfulness is another approach she uses; it teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity. Positive psychology strategies look at strengths and values to help people make purposeful choices when they feel stuck.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different exercises, adjusting the pace, or combining techniques until something feels useful.

The profile does not list which session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking to know if phone or video sessions are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel, and they allow people to use worksheets, audio, and short exercises between meetings. These practical benefits help many clients maintain momentum while testing new ways of thinking and acting.
