About Lyn

Lyn Cassin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life changes. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and find ways to cope. Her style is direct, warm, and focused on real problems.

Lyn has worked in mental health since 2006 and completed a Master of Social Work in 2012.

Background and approach

Over 14 years as a clinician she has supported adults facing trauma, grief, panic, and substance concerns. Her background includes experience with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, bipolar mood challenges, and a range of co-occurring problems. In sessions she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns and how they affect behavior and relationships.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, stay present, and commit to values-based actions. Those approaches are blended to fit each person's situation. People can expect conversations that focus on understanding feelings, practicing new responses, and building small changes that add up.

Lyn also uses client-centered listening to make sure each person feels heard before moving into skills work. She offers online options and flexible ways to stay connected while working through change. The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking, better coping, and a stronger sense of self.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice patterns in strong feelings and how those emotions shape behavior and relationships. It is useful for moments when emotions feel overpowering or when old patterns repeat and create pain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches how to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and the frustration that comes with life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they affect current relationships and self-understanding. It often helps when people struggle with closeness, trust, or recurring relationship fights.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques so they fit the situation. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and work in real time, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a personal conversation is needed without video. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, homework, or shorter conversations between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
