Lynette Wren, LCSW

Lynette Wren is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Illinois with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also focuses on body image, caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of isolation.

She keeps sessions practical and direct. Conversations cover what is happening now and what small changes could help day to day. She helps people talk through communication problems and dependent personality patterns. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

Wren uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape the work. That means she picks methods that have research behind them and applies them to the specific problem at hand. Sessions often include clear strategies, skills practice, and reflection about patterns that keep problems cycling.

She is experienced in hospice and end-of-life counseling and in addressing family problems from an individual perspective. Caregivers and people balancing health and family demands can expect focused attention on stress management and coping options. The emphasis is on workable steps rather than theory.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. People leave sessions with concrete suggestions to try between meetings and a plan to track what helps. To begin, clients follow the service's process to match and schedule a first appointment.
