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 like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and anger. She also supports people facing addictions, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and career or life changes.
She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Chicago and has worked in many clinical settings. Her background includes helping individuals and people in relationships address interpersonal and family conflict, parent-child challenges, and the effects of trauma and loss. She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions.
Her approach asks clients to take an active role. Lynnette often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people set goals and measure progress. She also draws on Client-Centered and Mindfulness techniques and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit a person's needs.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems in place and helps build clearer thinking and healthier habits. That can mean working on communication, coping strategies for strong emotions like anger, sleep and eating routines, or steps to manage substance use. She encourages bringing whatever matters most into the work so it can be handled directly.
Lynnette offers daytime, evening, and weekend times to accommodate busy schedules. She accepts clients in Indiana and also sees international clients in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients steer the work. It helps when someone wants time to name their goals and priorities and have a therapist follow their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful when a person needs tools for emotion regulation and communication.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lynnette will work with each person to identify what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.
Please confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness or CBT exercises between sessions in the moment they are needed.
