About Lynne

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker who uses mindfulness as a core part of her practice. She brings 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and major life changes. Her approach is calm and grounded, focused on small steps people can try between sessions.

Lynne believes difficult emotions and uncertainty come with being human, and that joy and growth are possible alongside pain. She asks curious questions and listens without judgment. Conversations are aimed at helping people notice what matters to them and build choices that reflect those values.

She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, anger, or numbness. She also supports those who are reassessing their relationship to alcohol or drugs. Sessions include practical tools to reduce distress and ways to practice new habits in daily life.

Lynne blends mindfulness with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and self-talk. The focus is on what a person wants to change and simple steps to get there.

People who choose Lynne can expect a collaborative partnership. She helps clients name goals and track progress while offering straightforward techniques for coping and meaning-making. To start, she guides people through a brief matching process and scheduling that fits their circumstances.

How mindfulness and ACT translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy encourages gentle attention to moment-to-moment experience and simple practices to reduce reactivity; it can help with anxiety, stress, and overwhelming emotions by teaching steadying habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult internal experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current behavior and feelings.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try techniques together to see what fits. That collaborative process means plans may shift as needs become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, support more consistent check-ins, and allow for shorter or more frequent meetings when needed. They also let people practice skills where challenges actually happen, so changes can transfer into daily routines more quickly.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
