She blends a caring, motivational style with direct feedback and a sense of optimism.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Lindsey uses a mix of client-centered listening and evidence-informed techniques to tailor each plan to the person sitting across from her. Lindsey has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health, and medical clinics.
That variety shaped her ability to respond in crisis and to build steady coping skills for ongoing concerns. Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health issues, and homelessness. Her approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-focused ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
She adapts methods to fit a person’s needs rather than following one fixed protocol. Lindsey emphasizes collaboration and practical tools that can be used between sessions. People who choose Lindsey can expect an encouraging, nonjudgmental space that moves toward measurable change.
She aims to be flexible about scheduling and to help clients set realistic steps toward better daily functioning and improved relationships.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it focuses on what matters most rather than only eliminating symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused work like stress or parenting challenges.Lindsey treats choosing the right approach as a team effort. She listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit your situation. Together you can try different techniques and adapt the plan based on what helps you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face for in-depth skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
