About Lyn
Lyn Cassin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on clear, goal-oriented work that addresses daily struggles and emotional overload. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to cope.
She has 14 years of experience in mental health, beginning with a Bachelor of Social Work from Youngstown State University and followed by a Master of Social Work earned in 2012.
Background and approach
Over the years she has supported adults facing depression, panic attacks, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. That background informs how she thinks about treatment and recovery. In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach practical skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed ideas to help people clarify values and strengthen important relationships. The emphasis is on skills that can be used in everyday life. Lyn aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk and be heard.
She works with people on issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, parenting stress, and substance use concerns. She also addresses more specific problems like body image, codependency, and chronic illness related stress. Her approach is collaborative and focused on measurable progress.
Sessions are practical and tuned to each person’s goals, with tools and strategies that can be practiced between meetings.
Approaches that guide online work and everyday coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and low mood. It is practical and problem-focused. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. You can revise the plan as progress is made, and sessions aim to teach skills you can use between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and guided exercises. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or people who find typing helps them express themselves. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently.
