About Lynnette

Lynnette Thomas is a seasoned licensed clinical social worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Chicago and more than 37 years of professional experience. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families across a variety of settings to address depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal and family conflict, and parent-child relationship concerns. Her practice emphasizes practical skill-building, helping people strengthen self-esteem, develop coping strategies, adapt to major life changes, and improve problem-solving and decision-making abilities.

As a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - Lynnette blends structured therapy methods with collaborative goal-setting. She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, inviting clients to take an active role in defining goals and tracking progress. Her approach attends to mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of well-being, and she encourages clients to bring any topic into sessions so that nothing feels off-limits. Lynnette offers daytime, evening, and weekend hours to accommodate different schedules and is available to support people at various stages of their healing and growth journey.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own values and goals guide the work. It supports people who want to build self-understanding, improve relationships, and strengthen coping through an individualized, collaborative process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve everyday functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change, which can be especially useful for behaviors like substance use or other habit changes.

Determining the best approach is part of the therapy process. Lynnette works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. She centers client input and shared decision-making throughout treatment.

Online therapy with a licensed professional can offer greater flexibility and access - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across distances and busy lives while allowing therapists to tailor how they meet each client’s needs.
