About Lynne
Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in mental health care. She uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and major life changes. Lynne talks plainly and meets people where they are so they can start making changes that matter quickly.
She draws on several approaches to shape each session to a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking meaningful steps despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and patterns that repeat over time. Lynne has worked with adults dealing with substance use and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss.
She also supports people coping with medical issues, caregiver stress, identity and commitment questions, and problems with communication or control. Her experience includes a wide range of life challenges across decades of practice. In sessions she focuses on connection and practical tools.
Conversations often include skill-building, pacing difficult topics, and planning small, doable steps between meetings. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and help people notice progress. Lynne is based in South Carolina and holds the credentials LCSW, CSW, and LISW.
She offers help in English and works with people both in the region and internationally.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and interactions, which can help with trust, connection, and recurring relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist work together to decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment work, or a mix of methods best supports the person’s goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for focused exchanges, and messaging lets people reflect and respond in their own time. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
