About Lynnette

Lynnette Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker with 37 years of experience. She earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago and brings long-standing clinical work to each session. Lynnette focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.

Her approach centers on collaboration. She asks clients to set their own goals and checks in on progress along the way. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to help change unhelpful thinking and build motivation for new habits.

Lynnette pays attention to the whole person - physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life matter in her work. She has supported people through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, and challenges with sleep and eating. She also helps with addiction, bipolar symptoms, parenting strain, and career or life transitions.

In therapy people can expect straightforward skill teaching, gentle challenge, and space to talk about difficult topics. She encourages bringing any concern into the room so it can be addressed.

Lynnette offers daytime, evening, and weekend hours to fit different schedules. She works with individuals and with people who want help improving how they relate to others. International clients may be accepted for sessions conducted in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and pace. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name what matters most so goals come from the client. This approach fits issues where feeling heard and understood is a first step toward change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lynnette will work together with clients to choose methods that match their needs and goals. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and priorities shift.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people value online therapy for fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing travel time, and making it easier to schedule daytime, evening, or weekend appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer phone-only meetings. Discuss preferences and scheduling needs when you set up the first session so the format supports everyday life and therapy goals.
