About Lynne
Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage anxiety and related concerns. She uses direct, practical conversation to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices that match their values. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.
She listens for what is most troubling right now and then helps people try small, useful steps to change how they react to difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and real-life tools rather than jargon. Lynne draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-informed work to guide sessions. She frames therapy as a partnership and invites people to test new ways of acting and thinking between sessions.
This practical orientation is meant to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. People who come with questions about substance use, grief, or longstanding patterns like codependency or attachment worries will find focused attention on those topics. She also addresses concerns connected to aging, caregiver stress, body image, and major life transitions in straightforward terms.
Lynne practices in South Carolina and conducts work in English. She aims for a calm, honest space where people can talk through hard moments and try steps that fit their everyday life.
How approach and format shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, worry, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to test better ways of coping. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and past connections to understand how those patterns affect current feelings and choices; this can help with trust, abandonment worries, and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that seem most likely to help. This is a collaborative process with room to adjust if something does not feel helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions that need face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can work well with limited bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are convenient for quick updates, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose what feels most practical for each person.
