About Lynnette
Lynnette Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 37 years of experience. She works with adults on common and complex concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and loss, relationship strain, and addiction. Her work also covers parenting challenges, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues around intimacy, eating, and sleep.
Her background includes a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago and long-term practice across clinical settings. She encourages clients to set concrete goals and to track progress during treatment. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping, problem solving, and decision making rather than abstract theory.
Lynnette uses approaches that help people take action and notice change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns and behaviors, Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change, and Client-Centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools may be used to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
In sessions she keeps conversations direct and task-oriented. Clients can bring any life topic for discussion, including physical, mental, or spiritual concerns. She has experience working with individuals, couples, and families and frames work around clear, measurable steps.
People looking for a seasoned social worker who focuses on everyday functioning and concrete skills may find her style helpful. Before booking, confirm session formats and scheduling details to match your needs.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. The therapist listens without directing and helps clients set their own goals. This approach supports work on relationship strain, self-esteem, and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions include practical exercises, activity plans, and step-by-step skill building to address anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques teach skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. These tools are useful for anger, distress, and building emotional regulation. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as work progresses. Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the original biography does not specify which online options are used. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for a remote setting to keep sessions practical and focused.CAreas of focus
