My name is Quinn Lambert, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Paducah, KY, working with clients across the state of Kentucky through telehealth. I work with individuals of all ages and specialize in the areas of grief, loss, and bereavement; religious/spiritual trauma or “church hurt;” and anxiety and depression. I use a combination of Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy to help my clients start feeling better and work towards their wellness goals.
My approach
The specific approaches I use vary based on the needs and goals of each of my clients. I have found that the principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy are typically easily understood and applicable to a variety of concerns, and I am trained in Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy for those who feel “stuck” in their grief.
My focus
My approach best serves anyone who is struggling to cope with losses or stresses in their life. Grief comes with any kind of loss, whether that is the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or relationship, or even the loss of normalcy from a life transition such as graduation, parenthood, or retirement. I work with my clients to help them identify and adjust to these losses while promoting healthy grieving and coping.
My communication style
My communication style is patient, compassionate, and encouraging. I do not claim to know how my clients feel, because each individual’s situation is unique; instead I seek to understand through empathic and active listening.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to study psychology after graduating high school, but became interested in pursuing mental health counseling specifically after graduating college because of the focus on individuals’ strengths and overall wellness rather than testing and assessment. My time spent working in both funeral home and hospice settings illustrated the need for quality support for those who are going through the grief process.
My goals for you
I truly believe it is important to have goals in the counseling process; however, those goals can and often do change during the course of counseling as clients gain insight and clarification on their unique situations. I strive to have a flexible approach that balances working towards set goals while adjusting as needed to meet new ones, and I check in regularly with my clients to make sure we are on the right track.
My first session with you
During our first session together, my primary goal is to get to know you better. I will have some questions for you about what has brought you to counseling and what you are hoping to gain from the process, but I also want to learn more about you as a person; I truly seek to know my clients for who they are, rather than just treating your symptoms or presenting concerns.
