About Lynnette
Lynnette Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 37 years of professional experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Chicago. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and many family and parenting issues.
Lynnette commonly helps people address grief, intimacy-related struggles, sleep and eating problems, and the impact of bipolar disorder. She also supports people coping with life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She welcomes discussion of parenting challenges and blended family dynamics.
Her approach asks people to set practical goals and track progress. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools and motivational interviewing to work on thoughts, behaviors, and readiness for change. Sessions are active and goal-focused rather than solely talk about feelings.
Lynnette pays attention to how physical and spiritual health interact with mental health. She encourages clients to bring whatever issue matters most into sessions. That can include abandonment and attachment questions, adoption and foster-care concerns, or caregiver stress.
She has worked in a range of settings and with individual adults as well as people managing interpersonal and family conflict. Lynnette offers daytime, evening, and weekend hours to accommodate different schedules. To begin, a short matching form and a scheduled first session start the process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaborative goal setting. It helps when someone needs a therapist who will reflect concerns, prioritize what matters most, and work with the person to decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete tools and exercises to change patterns that keep stress, anxiety, or depression going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for managing intense reactions and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaboration shapes how sessions proceed.
The original profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling an evening check-in after work or a shorter session during a lunch break. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
