Lynne Klaus, LCSW, CSW, LISW

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate big life challenges. She uses a blend of practical talk and compassionate listening to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and major life transitions like midlife changes.

Her approach focuses on building connection and unpacking what feels overwhelming. Sessions often include learning skills to manage difficult feelings, looking at patterns that keep problems going, and clarifying values that guide change. She invites people to explore their story at a comfortable pace and work toward clearer goals.

Over her career Lynne has supported people dealing with grief, relationship struggles, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and the effects of past abandonment or attachment wounds. She offers steady guidance for those questioning substance use or coping habits and for people wrestling with control, commitment, or communication problems.

Lynne draws from several therapeutic methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches are used to tailor work to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with her and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and uncertainty about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaching practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people who feel disconnected, struggle with trust, or carry abandonment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as different challenges come up.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful for maintaining continuity when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises, homework, and conversation to suit an online setting so the work stays practical and focused.
