About Lyn
Lyn Cassin uses a practical, evidence-informed approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood struggles. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 14 years of experience since completing her master's degree in social work. Lyn focuses on real-world skills that fit busy lives and parenting concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so people can see manageable steps forward. Her work blends cognitive behavioral tools with attachment ideas and acceptance-based practices.
Background and approach
That mix helps when patterns of thinking, relationship wounds, or painful emotions keep showing up. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies for managing intense feelings and on client-centered ways of listening so people feel understood. Lyn has helped adults cope with depression, panic, grief, trauma, and substance use problems.
She talks with clients about practical strategies for day-to-day life and coping during transitions. Sessions aim to identify what matters most and to build small, sustainable changes. Her style is direct and compassionate.
She offers a nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and practice new skills. Parents reading this will find an approach that emphasizes clear tools and steady support. Background and approach: Lyn earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work before becoming licensed.
Over her career she has worked across settings supporting people with abuse histories, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring conditions. She provides therapy using methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment-based and client-centered techniques to address both symptoms and underlying patterns.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like panic or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lyn will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared planning helps focus sessions on what will make the most difference day to day.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules and parenting responsibilities. Sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can use the format that fits them best. This variety makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and to keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
