About Lynet Uttal
Lynet Uttal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who combines practical support with compassionate therapy to help clients become more comfortable with themselves. She works with people who are facing a current problem - such as a difficult relationship - as well as those who carry pain from earlier experiences. Her work also supports decision-making, motivation for personal projects, and exploration of purpose or meaning in life.
Lynet pays close attention to the conditions that shape daily life, including finances, housing, employment, and relationships. She helps clients consider whether a job change, a move, or different supports would improve well-being, and she can assist with identifying or applying for community resources. Caregiver stress, cultural differences within families, and concerns related to aging parents are also within her scope of practice.
In sessions she teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety and depression while also exploring underlying causes of distress. Her therapeutic approach emphasizes careful listening and thoughtful questioning so that both therapist and client develop a clear understanding of what is creating discomfort and how the client wishes to change. When appropriate, Lynet offers coaching on how to alter behaviors or ways of interacting to better align with a client’s values and lifestyle.
She has worked with people through job transitions, firing, relationship endings, and learning to form healthier relationships. Lynet supports clients navigating parent-adult child dynamics, practicing calm self-presentation during internal turmoil, and reframing regrets into manageable personal narratives. Her practice adapts to each person’s needs and background, and she provides interpreter-mediated therapy when language differences require it. Lynet has experience working with Latine communities, Muslim clients, people from India, Hmong clients, and many parents who are US-born children of immigrants. As the daughter of a Japanese immigrant, she is especially interested in the tensions that arise when individuals live between two cultures.
She is available to accept new clients and aims to arrange sessions around clients’ schedules when possible. Lynet is not available before 10 am or after 6 pm, though some Saturday appointments are offered. She looks forward to working with prospective clients and tailoring therapy to the unique concerns each person brings.
