About Lynne
Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice helping people through hard periods. She uses a human-centered approach that honors meaning, choice, and the work of rebuilding after pain. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making therapy feel doable.
Lynne draws on Existential therapy to help people make sense of life changes and loss. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps alongside deeper questions about values and purpose. Many clients come because stress, worry, or low mood gets in the way of daily life. Others are coping with trauma, grief, or problems with substances.
Lynne helps people name what’s happening, try small experiments, and build skills that fit their day-to-day routines. She has worked with a wide range of concerns across her career, including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems. That breadth of experience informs a flexible way of working rather than a single protocol.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Expect a mix of listening, gentle challenge, and practical strategies such as behavior changes and value-guided choices. The aim is steady progress you can feel in ordinary moments.

Online support
Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care
Existential therapy helps people consider life’s big questions - meaning, choice, and purpose - and is useful for those facing major transitions, grief, or a sense of disconnection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps to notice thoughts and feelings, commit to personal values, and take small actions that build a better life; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and addictive urges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior, which can aid in improving closeness and communication.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Sessions may combine meaning-focused reflection with skill-building exercises so the work feels useful between meetings.
Online sessions give flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier on low-energy days. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter connection fits a schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
