About Lynn
Dr. Lynn Grattan is a Psychologist licensed in Maryland with 35 years of professional experience in psychology and neuropsychology. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-confidence, ADHD, depression, grief, and difficulties coping with life changes.
Her practice also addresses concerns that can come with aging and chronic illness, such as caregiver stress and cancer-related adjustment. She supports people dealing with attachment struggles, communication problems, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and the effects of traumatic brain injury and post-concussion symptoms.
In sessions she uses clear, practical techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, existential phenomenological, coping, and problem-solving approaches. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and what concrete steps can help improve day-to-day functioning. She listens to each person’s experience and works collaboratively on manageable goals.
Dr. Grattan’s background in neuropsychology informs work with cognitive concerns and thought patterns that affect behavior. She combines attention to thinking styles with strategies for improving problem solving and coping skills. This often includes building simple routines, testing small changes, and revisiting what works.
People come to her when they feel stuck after work, relationship, or health changes and want practical ways to move forward. The emphasis is on learning approaches that fit a person’s life and responsibilities. She invites questions about how therapy can be shaped to meet current needs.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many of the techniques Dr. Grattan uses come from cognitive-behavioral methods. These focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, lift low mood, and improve motivation. Exercises are practical and often include simple homework to try between meetings.She also draws on problem-solving and coping approaches. These help people break down overwhelming situations into manageable steps, develop routines, and build skills to handle stress and life transitions. For cognitive concerns, her neuropsychology background guides attention to thinking, memory, and organizational strategies.
Finding the right approach is something to work on together. The therapist will review what is most pressing, try methods that match a person’s goals, and adjust over time. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques fit daily life and responsibilities.
