Lynne Klaus, LCSW, CSW, LISW

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with a long history in mental health care. She brings 25 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, substance concerns, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Lynne frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on connection and practical steps forward.

She views suffering and uncertainty as part of being human and believes joy and growth are possible alongside them. People often come to her after trying to cope on their own or leaning on loved ones until they feel worn out. She helps people name what is difficult and gently test different ways of responding.

In sessions she encourages exploration of identity and values. That work looks like talking through patterns, learning skills to manage strong feelings, and trying small behavioral changes between meetings. She aims to build a steady, grounded way to handle stress and overwhelm.

Lynne uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment methods, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused techniques. Those methods are used to help with relationships, coping, and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Clients can expect a supportive, realistic approach that balances empathy with concrete steps. Lynne helps people who are ready to explore who they are and what they want next, and she partners with them to create a manageable path toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and what they look like online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them. It emphasizes small, value-driven actions that can reduce the hold of anxiety or depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change mood and stress levels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses to stress and loss; it can help people repair connection and reduce feelings of disconnection.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals can tailor techniques used in ACT, CBT, or attachment work to the online setting so sessions focus on meaningful change and practical coping strategies that fit everyday life.
