Lynly Curtis is a Maryland-based therapist who brings more than ten years of professional experience to her practice. She holds an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and maintains clinical social work credentials as an LCSW-C and an LICSW, reflecting advanced training and licensure in social work and clinical care. Lynly works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, parenting and life transitions, and she also supports people dealing with issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress.

Lynly emphasizes a strengths-focused approach, helping people identify existing resources and build on them to meet their goals. Her style is warm and understanding, and she tailors treatment collaboratively to each person’s needs. Faith can be included in sessions as much or as little as a person prefers, and she aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for exploration and growth.

Clinically, Lynly draws from multiple evidence-informed approaches including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, trauma-focused therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She combines these methods to design an individualized plan that addresses symptoms and underlying patterns while supporting practical coping and change.

Recognizing that seeking help is a significant step, Lynly offers collaborative guidance to help people move forward and feel less alone in the process.
