About Lynda
Lynda Fenner is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, family conflict, depression, grief, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Lynda frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use to manage upsetting feelings and improve how they relate to others. She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels difficult.
In conversations she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps people try different ways of responding. That can include learning new skills for managing emotions, changing unhelpful habits, or working through past hurts that still affect daily life. She also addresses issues linked to identity and health, such as LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, and HIV/AIDS.
Lynda has worked with people connected to first responder work and with those coping with hoarding and infidelity. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. Practical problem solving and steady progress are common themes in her work.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Evidence-based techniques and remote care
She describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change patterns that increase distress. One common approach focuses on learning emotion regulation skills so people can notice triggers and choose different responses; this helps with anger, anxiety, and stress. Another approach targets behavior change by identifying habits that reinforce problems and practicing alternative actions in daily life; this helps with addictions, relationship patterns, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a practical choice for quick progress checks, while video allows face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep work manageable alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
