About Lynnette
Lynnette Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 37 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, grief, and related areas. Lynnette works with people who want practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
She earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago and has worked in multiple settings over nearly four decades. That experience includes supporting people with parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career changes. Lynnette also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family stresses, and caregiver strain.
Her practice emphasizes approaches that encourage active participation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are primary methods she uses to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, set goals, and try new responses. She also draws on client-centered work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and mindfulness practices when they fit the goals.
Sessions involve setting clear goals and checking progress toward them. Clients can bring any concern to talk about, including intimacy-related issues, codependency, communication problems, or substance use. Lynnette supports problem-solving and decision-making as part of her work.
She offers daytime, evening, and weekend appointments to help fit sessions into busy schedules. People who prefer to work with a clinician in English or who are located outside the United States may also consider her practice.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating problems, and many day-to-day challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and supporting the client’s own goals; it helps when people want time to talk through feelings and clarify choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful for anger, self-regulation, and interpersonal conflict. Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will review what is helpful and adjust the plan so sessions stay practical and focused on achievable steps. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce commuting time. They also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth or comfort with being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational interviewing techniques, and DBT skills training to work in remote appointments so clients can practice tools between sessions.Areas of expertise
