With 40 years of experience, Lyndia offers steady, experienced guidance for a wide range of concerns. She works with people coping with parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
She also helps address relationship problems, family conflict, and the fallout from betrayal such as infidelity or jealousy. Lyndia uses approaches that are goal-oriented and client-focused. She incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness practices help people calm their reactions and stay present during tough moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies and solution-focused work are included when useful. These methods help clients clarify values, set small goals, and make changes that fit their lives.
Sessions emphasize practical tools over lengthy theory. She brings attention to specific concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, codependency, control and commitment difficulties, and substance use problems. Veterans and those with disaster-related stress can find focused, experienced support.
Lyndia aims to partner with each person to build clearer choices and steadier routines.
How Lyndia’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to live by your values while accepting difficult feelings. Online sessions can focus on small, concrete steps you want to take and ways to stay committed to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote work this can mean tracking thoughts between sessions and practicing new responses during the week.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lyndia talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She combines approaches when that fits the client’s needs, and adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and share exercises in real time. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or continued practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
