Background and approach
She prefers clear, goal-focused conversations and mixes in humor and optimism when it fits. Her style is motivating and supportive while still being straightforward about next steps. Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health, and medical clinics.
She has experience with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health conditions, and homelessness. Those experiences inform how she responds to urgent or complex needs. Lindsey tailors treatment plans to each person’s situation, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches as appropriate.
She aims to help clients build skills they can use between sessions. She offers flexible scheduling across time zones and checks messages most days except Sundays. Lindsey emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance and works to create a respectful, goal-oriented therapeutic relationship.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions adjust over time as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations and use visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into a busy day for brief updates, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or travel schedules.
