How Lyndsey’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and priorities. It involves active listening, reflecting what is said, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach works well for a wide range of concerns where making space for the client’s voice is important.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that target anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings are intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Lyndsey provides video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or when a camera isn’t needed, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice skills in real time.
