Lindsey is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, with 16 years of experience in the field.
She helps people cope with grief, major life changes, stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports clients facing ADHD, sleep problems, addictions, low self-esteem, and career concerns.
How Lindsey works
Lindsey addresses a wide range of related challenges such as caregiver strain, chronic illness, communication struggles, and feelings of emptiness. In sessions Lindsey focuses on practical, understandable work. She mixes acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and emotionally focused approaches.
Conversations often include noticing what matters, testing small changes, and strengthening emotional awareness and connection. Lindsey creates a nonjudgmental space for people to name their struggles and try new ways of coping. She pays attention to both emotions and daily habits so progress feels useful in real life.
Clients set goals together and shape the pace of work. Her practice is attentive to issues that surface over a life span, including aging and geriatric matters, autism spectrum concerns, cancer-related stress, fertility challenges, and chronic pain or disability. Lindsey combines steady listening with clear steps clients can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps with grief, life transitions, anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck by shifting attention toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people connect more clearly with emotions and improve how they respond to strong feelings, which can ease shame, emptiness, and relationship-related distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She tailors methods as sessions progress so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for fuller interaction, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who need shorter, written check-ins or who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, medical appointments, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.

A practical next step
Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
