About Lyn
Lyn Cassin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana. She brings 14 years of experience supporting people who face anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people cope with daily challenges and painful events.
She uses several evidence-based methods to tailor care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions.
How Lyn works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. Lyn draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas too, so sessions focus on understanding relationships and on listening without judgment. She blends techniques to match each person’s situation instead of following a single script.
Sessions emphasize skill-building, emotional awareness, and clearer communication. Her background includes work with adults who have experienced loss, abuse, panic, addiction, and trauma. That experience informs practical strategies for coping with stress, grief, anger, and life changes.
Lyn aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them and try new ways of handling hard moments. People connect with her for help with intimacy issues, parenting concerns, body image and codependency, and for support when facing chronic illness or caregiving strain.
She supports LGBT concerns and works with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder while focusing on realistic steps toward daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses, which often helps with anxiety, panic, depression, and addictive behaviors.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is helpful when strong emotions or repeated interpersonal problems make day-to-day life harder. Lyn will work together with each person to choose which approaches make the most sense based on goals, current challenges, and personal preferences. Deciding on a method is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face conversation help progress. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing support between sessions and for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while working with licensed professionals.
