About Lynnette

Lynnette Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 37 years of professional experience helping people navigate complex life challenges. She draws on an extensive background in clinical practice to support clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her approach attends to the whole person, addressing emotional, relational, and practical concerns so clients can build coping skills and improve decision-making. In sessions she uses collaborative, goal-focused methods that invite active participation from the person seeking help.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are central tools in her work, and she also integrates mindfulness and dialectical skills when helpful. Lynnette welcomes exploration of interpersonal and family dynamics, communication patterns, self-esteem, and life transitions, and invites clients to bring any concern into the therapeutic space.

She offers daytime, evening, and weekend availability and accepts international clients from her Indiana practice.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care



Lynnette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop more adaptive behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many day-to-day challenges. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative, goal-oriented style that supports people who are ambivalent about change and helps clarify personal values and next steps. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy - such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills - are woven into work with clients who need more structure around managing intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lynnette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current situation, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make attending sessions more flexible around work, caregiving, and travel. These options allow consistent access to licensed professionals while supporting different communication styles and scheduling needs.
