Lynne Klaus , LCSW, CSW, LISW

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. She holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials, which indicate formal licensing and training in clinical social work and related social work credentials. Over her career she has worked with a broad spectrum of clients facing substance use challenges, relationship and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and the emotional aftermath of abuse and loss.

Lynne approaches therapy from a belief that suffering and uncertainty are part of being human, and that joy, growth, and healing are also possible through connection. Many people arrive in therapy having exhausted their internal resources or worried they have burdened loved ones with shame, self-doubt, or persistent emotional pain. She frames therapy as a partnership, offering clients space to explore who they are, clarify who they want to be, and develop practical strategies to manage overwhelming feelings.

When anxiety, irritability, grief, or substance use interfere with daily life, Lynne helps clients identify values, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild meaningful connection, aiming to support lasting change and renewed engagement with life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for emotional healing

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and learn skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relationships and connection, helping people understand how early and current attachments shape emotions and behaviors, which is useful for issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience, emphasizing empathy, respect, and the therapist-client relationship as the foundation for growth - it supports people facing grief, identity questions, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lynne works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which methods resonate and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options increase accessibility and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that match their comfort and lifestyle.
