About Lynne
Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 25 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression. She writes simply and directly to people who feel overwhelmed or stuck and offers steady, practical support. Lynne uses attachment-informed ideas to help people reconnect with themselves and others.
Lynne believes that healing grows from connection. In sessions she listens for patterns tied to attachment and helps clients notice how early and current relationships shape feelings and choices.
Background and approach
She combines that perspective with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage day-to-day distress. Clients can expect a warm, client-centered approach that focuses on what matters to them. Lynne helps people identify small, doable steps toward change, such as learning new ways to respond to anxiety or shifting patterns that keep them stuck.
She also works with those who are questioning their use of alcohol or other substances and supports people facing grief, loss, or life transitions. Her toolbox includes emotion-focused work to name and sit with difficult feelings, and practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, yet paced by each person’s comfort.
Lynne supports clients in defining who they want to be and making steady progress toward that vision. Based in South Carolina, Lynne offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. She frames therapy as a partnership and helps people find the approach that fits their needs and life circumstances.

Online support
Attachment-informed and action-focused care online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns that keep them disconnected or stuck. It is useful for people who feel numb, overwhelmed, or repeatedly hurt in relationships and want to build more reliable ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and substance use by focusing on what matters and taking small steps toward it. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, respectful space where the person guides the pace and topics. This approach supports people who need a steady, listening presence as they sort through hard decisions or life changes. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and adjust over time based on goals, needs, and what feels most useful. That way treatment stays practical and responsive. Online sessions offer flexibility by letting people meet from different places and at different times. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging allow brief updates or support between appointments. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
