She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, fertility and cancer-related challenges, and issues around codependency or communication.
Many clients seek her help for career stress, feelings of emptiness, or difficulty managing control and shame. In sessions she emphasizes practical steps you can use between meetings, such as small behavior changes or short exercises to reduce immediate stress. Lindsey balances skill-building with time to reflect on values and meaning when that feels important.

How Lindsey’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and depression. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and pace, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk and reflect so personal insights can emerge.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lindsey will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, adjusting strategies based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in session. She combines practical tools with time to process emotions so therapy fits the person, not the other way around.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping consistent momentum toward their goals.
