About Lindsay
Lindsay Brunner is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people through difficult moments. She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma, and the emotional upheaval that comes with major life changes. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She listens to personal stories and helps people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions are meant to feel like a practical space for making sense of emotions and finding next steps.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include stress, low self-esteem, and coping with loss or transitions. She also works with people handling family problems, communication issues, and difficulties tied to substance use or eating and food-related issues. Lindsay helps clients who are processing abuse, sexual assault, or traumatic events.
She supports those facing relationship struggles such as commitment worries, abandonment, divorce, or blended family tensions. Her work often looks at everyday patterns and habits that keep old wounds active. She helps people build clearer boundaries, improve communication, and find ways to manage mood and anxiety.
The aim is to increase coping skills and self-compassion over time. Based in Missouri, Lindsay holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and understanding how past events affect current feelings. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practices new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This is useful for depression, worry, and everyday mood challenges.Another approach works with the effects of trauma by gently addressing painful memories and building coping tools to reduce emotional overwhelm. It can help people who are processing abuse, sexual assault, or other traumatic events regain a clearer sense of safety in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Treatment plans are revisited as progress is made and priorities change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let someone choose a shorter phone check-in or a video session when more connection is wanted. Ask about the available formats so sessions suit daily life and therapeutic needs.
