About Lindsey
Lindsey Hooker greets people who are ready to make changes but feel stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed. She works with adults facing addiction, low self-esteem, depression, relationship stress, anger, career uncertainty, and life transitions. Lindsey keeps language simple and practical so a worried parent can read and understand quickly.
She uses straightforward conversations to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on moments that cause the most distress and steps that lead to small wins.
How Lindsey works
Lindsey adapts plans to each person's situation instead of following a fixed formula. Lindsey is a licensed clinical social worker, credentialed as an LCSW in North Carolina and Florida. She brings five years of professional experience to her practice and draws on several evidence-based methods to guide her work.
Her practice often addresses concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and process addictions like gambling or compulsive sexual behavior. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, money issues, and non-traditional relationship structures including polyamory and kink-related topics.
In sessions Lindsey uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. She aims for practical strategies clients can use between sessions to manage emotions, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild confidence.

Online support options
How Lindsey’s approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to shift mood and coping. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, addictions, and low self-esteem. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to help manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive actions.These approaches are balanced with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques that help people notice what matters to them and build motivation for change. Lindsey works collaboratively to find which methods fit best for each person, adjusting the mix as goals and needs evolve. The choice of approach is not fixed - it grows out of conversations about what is most useful in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when that helps. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make brief support and ongoing check-ins possible between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain consistent progress with their chosen therapeutic tools.
