Lynne Klaus, LCSW, CSW, LISW

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 25 years of experience to people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depression. She writes in a straightforward way and offers a steady presence for people who feel overwhelmed, numb, or stuck. Lynne emphasizes connection and practical steps toward feeling better. She invites clients to look at who they are and who they want to become.

Her work is grounded in several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered principles to guide conversations. Sessions focus on what the person is living through now and small changes that can make daily life easier.

Lynne has worked with many people over her career who have used substances to manage emotions, and she talks through concerns about alcohol and drug use without judgment. She helps people untangle feelings like shame, grief, anger, and chronic worry so they can take concrete steps forward. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Practical concerns such as coping with life changes, caregiver stress, body image, or grappling with adoption and abandonment are part of her caseload. She draws on strategies from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and ACT to address patterns in relationships and in the self. Her goal is to help people reconnect to meaning and to build manageable habits that support recovery and wellbeing.

Based in South Carolina, Lynne works in English and accepts international clients. She frames therapy as a partnership and supports people in making realistic plans for change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone wants a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions and can help with trust, intimacy, and patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. Some people prefer shorter remote check-ins while others opt for longer conversations; the therapist will work with each person to set a schedule and session rhythm that suits their routine and needs.
