About Lindsay
Lindsay Metli is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people find steady ground. She draws on a broad clinical background to set clear, achievable goals that improve daily functioning. Lindsay aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth.

Background and approach
Lindsay often helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and challenges with relationships or addiction. She focuses on concrete skills you can use between sessions, such as emotional regulation, coping strategies, and communication tools. Her earlier work includes community mental health, psychiatric hospitals, child welfare, and group programs in correctional settings.
Those roles shaped how she supports people through major life changes, grief, and caregiver stress. She has experience running therapy groups and offering individual treatment in varied settings. Lindsay practices in Utah and holds LCSW licensure in Utah and Wyoming.
She values empowering clients and working collaboratively. Her sessions tend to be practical and solution-oriented, with room for processing deeper trauma when needed. Outside of work, Lindsay is part of a blended family and understands the juggling that comes with parenting and military life.
That lived experience informs her focus on balance, realistic goals, and steady progress.
How Lindsay’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to each person's needs. In online sessions this means beginning where the client is and shaping goals together, whether the need is anxiety management or relationship communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises. Online CBT often includes homework, worksheets, and real-time skill practice during calls. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with memories and the body’s responses to trauma. When used online the therapist guides paced processing and grounding techniques suited to the video environment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods, adjust techniques, and decide what feels most useful. That means starting with shared goals, trying approaches in session, and shifting course if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy with Lindsay is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for detailed conversations and therapeutic exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or hands-free time is needed. Chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions or use brief coaching in a pinch. These options give flexibility to practice skills and stay connected without rearranging an entire day.
