About Lynda
Lynda Fenner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 22 years of practice in Ohio. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and grief. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aiming to help people take practical steps toward a more satisfying life.
She starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear, doable changes rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Lynda encourages clients to set small goals and build on progress over time. Her background includes many years working with people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, and anger. She also has experience with LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related matters, hoarding, infidelity, and first responder issues.
That range informs a flexible approach tailored to each situation. Therapy with her centers on collaboration. She invites clients to name priorities, then works with them to develop coping plans and communication strategies.
Practical tools and gentle accountability are common features of sessions. Lynda offers sessions in English and provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and to schedule sessions based on availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit family life
Therapy often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying strengths and building small, realistic goals that reduce stress and improve communication. This helps with anxiety, relationship tension, and parenting stress by breaking challenges into manageable steps.Another approach centers on coping skills for strong emotions and unwanted behaviors. It teaches tools for managing anger, cravings related to addictions, sleeping difficulties, and trauma reactions so daily life feels steadier.
Finding the right approach usually takes a bit of collaboration. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust methods over time so the work fits the family's needs and routines.
Online therapy makes working with a licensed professional more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options let clients fit therapy into busy family days and maintain continuity while adapting to changing needs.
