About Lynne
Lynne Klaus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She practices in South Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Lynne also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and communication or control problems.
Her experience covers many settings and a wide range of life challenges. She has supported people who feel overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected. Lynne notices when emotions like anxiety, sadness, irritability, anger, or grief are getting in the way of daily life and helps them become more manageable.
People sometimes use substances to numb difficult feelings, and Lynne works with those questioning their relationship with alcohol or drugs. She invites clients to talk through who they are and who they want to be. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels or judgment.
Lynne draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered practice. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and try new behaviors when they are ready.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She offers a chance to examine painful feelings like shame or self-blame and to build skills for managing them. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to set up an initial session.
Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help when guilt or shame limits choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers simple tools to test unhelpful beliefs and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy addresses how early or ongoing relationship patterns shape current responses to loss, abandonment, or trust. It can help people see how past bonds affect present reactions and find different ways to connect or set boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and may shift as needs change.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Consider practical factors like quieter surroundings, the length of sessions, and whether you prefer audio-only or video when you confirm formats.
