Lyn Cassin , LCSW

Lyn Cassin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who brings a client-centered and strengths-focused approach to therapy. She completed a Bachelor of Social Work at Youngstown State University in 2006 and earned her Master of Social Work in 2012, after which she began providing professional therapeutic services. As an LCSW, Lyn holds a social work license that authorizes clinical practice and reflects advanced graduate training in social work.

Lyn has 14 years of experience working as a therapist with adults facing a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, grief and loss, abuse, addiction, and trauma. Her practice blends evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with trauma-informed, motivational interviewing, attachment-aware, and strength-based perspectives to address symptoms and build coping skills. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and family issues, stress, sexual and intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and the complexities of chronic illness and co-occurring conditions.

Committed to a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, Lyn seeks to create an environment where clients can explore difficult topics, develop practical strategies, and pursue meaningful change. Her work emphasizes collaboration, resilience, and helping people manage the everyday stresses and transitions that affect well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lyn Cassin integrates practical, skills-based approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes accepting difficult experiences while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Lyn is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, balance therapy with work or family demands, and access support from home or another convenient location.
