Lynne Klaus , LCSW, CSW, LISW

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, grief, and major life transitions. She draws on a wide clinical background working with individuals facing stress, addiction, relationship challenges, attachment concerns, and complicated life changes, and she brings a steady, compassionate presence to each therapeutic relationship.

Lynne holds the credentials LCSW, CSW, and LISW - professional designations that indicate advanced training and clinical social work licensure. Her approach is rooted in the belief that while suffering and uncertainty are part of the human experience, so are growth, connection, and the capacity to heal. She recognizes that many people reach therapy after exhausting their own resources or feeling that they have burdened loved ones with persistent sadness, shame, or self-doubt.

Clients work with Lynne to explore who they are and who they want to become, identifying patterns that contribute to distress and discovering practical ways to respond differently. She frames therapy as a partnership in which exploration, insight, and actionable coping strategies come together to support meaningful change and improved quality of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify what matters most to them and teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with meaningful living.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding early relational patterns and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help people address attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties forming secure connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Lynne collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the treatment remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options increase accessibility and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible, while supporting a consistent therapeutic relationship.
