Lyn Cassin, LCSW

Lyn Cassin uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people untangle thoughts and actions that cause distress. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, based in Indiana with 14 years of clinical experience. Her style is direct and practical while remaining warm and respectful. Lyn works with adults on problems like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and substance concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, intimacy issues, and life changes. She helps clients address self-esteem, anger, and the effects of chronic illness or pain. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered listening when needed. Sessions focus on learning skills, testing new behaviors, and tracking what changes in daily life. Lyn’s background includes a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work earned before she began clinical practice. She has worked in mental health settings since 2006 and has been a practicing therapist since 2012. That experience guides her practical, problem-solving focus. In sessions she helps people name difficult patterns, try manageable experiments, and build tools for coping. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. The goal is clearer thinking and better ways to handle stress and relationships.

How Lyn’s Approach Translates to Online Therapy

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in daily life. It focuses on concrete steps like changing thinking patterns and practicing different actions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice tough feelings without getting stuck and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help when someone struggles with persistent worry, avoidance, or life changes.

Attachment-Based ideas look at how past relationships shape current reactions and closeness. This helps people who want clearer communication and fewer repeating patterns in relationships.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online therapy with Lyn can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read body language and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text can be useful for short check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still working on meaningful change.
