Lynette Maggs, LMHC

Lynette Maggs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who began her work in a community mental health agency, where she developed a broad understanding of how mental health concerns can affect individuals, families, and the wider community. That early experience shaped her ongoing focus on the welfare of children and families impacted by trauma, including how trauma can influence relationships, parenting, and day-to-day functioning.

In her clinical work, she has supported individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, abuse and neglect, parenting challenges, addiction, stress, and loss, as well as the everyday hurdles that can make coping feel harder than it should. Her style is described as warm, empathetic, goal-oriented, and client-centered, with an emphasis on helping people clarify what they want to change and take practical steps toward it.

Her therapy is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-focused therapy. These approaches can help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build healthier coping strategies, set meaningful goals, and feel more empowered as progress unfolds.

Lynette earned her bachelor’s degree while attending universities in the eastern United States as her family relocated for her husband’s Coast Guard career, and she completed her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University in Virginia. She also values humor as a supportive part of facing life’s challenges, a perspective shaped by her long-term marriage, parenting, and years of military life.
