About Lynne
Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado and South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Her practice focuses on practical help for day-to-day challenges rather than abstract theories.
Lynne has worked across many settings with people dealing with substance use, grief and loss, and persistent overwhelm. She talks through emotions like anxiety, sadness, irritability, and anger in clear, straightforward ways. When substance use is involved, she addresses how it’s being used to cope and explores alternatives.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and build small, usable skills. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused approaches guide conversations about relationships and feeling connected. Client-centered principles mean the conversation stays focused on each person’s values and goals.
Sessions aim to identify practical changes that fit everyday life. That may include new ways of talking with others, setting boundaries, or testing different coping strategies. Lynne emphasizes collaboration - clients and clinician set priorities together and check what’s working.
She also supports issues linked to life transitions and identity, including adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, body image, aging-related matters, and relationship communication struggles. If someone feels stuck or worn out, she offers steady, goal-focused support to find clearer next steps.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, consistent steps toward them. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions because it focuses on what matters rather than only reducing symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want concrete tools to test and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments because they remove travel time. They also let people use shorter check-ins when needed, choose sessions without video if that feels better, or schedule appointments across different time zones when working internationally.
