Lynne Klaus, LCSW, CSW, LISW

Lynne Klaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in mental health care. She holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials and practices from South Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on concerns such as codependency, attachment issues, abandonment, and communication problems.

Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens to how daily life is affected by anxiety, low mood, or substance use. Sessions look at practical patterns that keep a person stuck and small changes that can ease pressure. Work may include understanding attachment patterns, noticing avoidance, and learning ways to act in line with personal values.

Lynne draws on several approaches to suit the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing actions that match what matters most, even when emotions are strong. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based methods are used for understanding relational patterns and how early bonds shape current responses.

She has decades of experience treating trauma, grief, and substance concerns alongside mood disorders. That background informs practical strategies for coping and for changing habits that maintain distress. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to the everyday choices people make.

People who have been putting others first or living around another person’s drinking or moods often come to her for help. She supports clients who want clearer boundaries, steadier emotions, and a better sense of themselves outside of others’ needs.
