About Lyn
Lyn Cassin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and mood concerns. She practices in Indiana and uses practical therapy methods that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Lyn writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can talk through what matters most to them.
Lyn draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Background and approach
She works in a straightforward way to identify patterns that cause distress and to build skills for managing strong emotions and urges. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming goals. Her background includes work with adults who have faced trauma, abuse, panic attacks, and substance use concerns.
She also supports people dealing with relationship struggles, identity questions, and parenting challenges. That mix of experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs. Lyn emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space for talking.
She helps people clarify values, set realistic steps, and practice new habits between sessions. When needed she blends evidence-based techniques with a strengths-oriented approach. Practical matters such as managing caregiving stress, chronic health issues, or grief are addressed with concrete strategies and emotional support.
She aims to make therapy feel useful from the first meetings and to help clients leave with tools they can use in everyday life.

Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify what matters most to them and to take small actions that align with those values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework between sessions. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques over time to find what helps most, mixing approaches when that seems useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and text messaging works well for brief updates or when scheduling is tight. These options help people maintain consistency and fit therapy into busy lives.
