Lynet Uttal

Lynet Uttal is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin with nine years of clinical experience. She is authorized to provide clinical social work services in both Wisconsin and Arizona and blends therapeutic work with practical coaching to help people feel more at ease with themselves.

When arranging appointments, Lynet asks clients to consider her open slots while she aims to match sessions to each person’s best available times. She is not available before 10 am or after 6 pm, and she offers some Saturday appointments.

She works with people facing relationship and family conflicts, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, eating disorders, parenting difficulties, anger management, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to sexual orientation. Clients come for help with immediate problems, painful events from the past, decisions about relationships or careers, motivation for projects, or exploration of meaning and purpose.

Lynet’s approach combines careful listening and thoughtful questioning with practical techniques. She teaches strategies for managing anxiety or depression while also helping clients uncover and understand the causes of their distress. Therapy is tailored to each person, and she often adds coaching elements to support changes in behavior and interaction patterns so clients can live in ways that suit them better.

She has experience supporting people through job changes and terminations, decisions about leaving relationships, starting healthy relationships, navigating parent-adult child dynamics, and learning to present calmly even when feeling like a storm inside. She also works with clients to reframe regrets so they no longer cause ongoing torment.

Lynet provides interpreter-mediated therapy when a client does not speak English. She has worked with Latine people, Muslims, people from India, Hmong clients, and many parents who are US-born children of immigrants. As the daughter of a Japanese immigrant, she has a particular interest in the conflicts that arise when people live between two cultures.

She looks forward to working with you.
