About Lynne

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, relationship-based therapy to help people manage difficult emotions. She brings 25 years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and major life changes. Lynne writes and speaks plainly in sessions so clients can focus on small, doable steps forward.

She emphasizes connection as a route to relief. Sessions invite people to name what feels stuck and experiment with new ways of responding. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on habits that get in the way of feeling better.

Lynne draws from several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. She blends these methods to match each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. That means practical tools, emotion work, and attention to relationships when those are part of the concern.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with people coping with trauma, grief, and substance concerns, and with those navigating stress and life transitions. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can explore identity, choices, and next steps.

Lynne also has experience addressing issues related to abandonment and adoption and foster care. If you want a steady, compassionate guide while you sort through painful feelings or change patterns, she offers focused conversation and concrete strategies to try.

How Lynne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward values that matter. It uses simple exercises and behavioral experiments to shift what you do, even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotion and trust, and it helps people practice safer ways of relating and responding. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist, offering empathic listening and support so clients can find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that match your situation. Together you’ll check what helps and adjust the approach over time so therapy stays useful and practical.

Confirm the session types available before booking so you know how Lynne is meeting with clients. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to travel. Online work can also make it easier to practice techniques in real-life moments and to bring immediate problems into the conversation for problem solving.
