About Lyn
Lyn Cassin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She draws on over a decade of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and straightforward and aimed at helping people find relief and clearer direction.
She practices several evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior tools. Those methods help people change unhelpful thinking and build skills for managing strong emotions.
Background and approach
Lyn also uses attachment-focused ideas to understand how past relationships shape current reactions. Clients can expect sessions that emphasize real-world skills. The work often includes talking through recent problems, learning coping strategies, and practicing new ways of responding.
Sessions are goal-oriented but remain responsive to what matters most to each person. Lyn has 14 years of experience in mental health and holds a Master of Social Work. She has worked with adults facing depression, panic, loss, trauma, and substance use challenges.
That background informs a steady, experienced approach to treatment. Therapy is offered through a range of online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act toward personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and problematic coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger and impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and personal preferences. This can mean blending techniques from ACT, CBT, and DBT as needed and checking in regularly to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to work on skills in everyday moments.
