About Lyndsey
Lyndsey Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and other life challenges. Lyndsey speaks plainly and aims to make the therapy process feel approachable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She uses a warm, interactive style and is also straightforward when needed. Sessions often include talking through thoughts and behaviors, trying small experiments between sessions, and building everyday skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Background and approach
Lyndsey adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than using one fixed method. Her work draws from cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and client-centered therapy. That combination supports people coping with trauma, addiction, ADHD, attachment concerns, body image, and difficult life transitions.
She also addresses intimacy, sexual culture issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. Lyndsey has experience supervising other counselors and has supported people facing career stress, parenting struggles, anger, and codependency. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion while offering honest feedback.
Her practical focus is on skills, clearer thinking, and choices that move daily life forward. People who want a direct but caring therapist will find her style helpful. She invites those ready to try change to take the first step and work together toward more manageable days.
How Lyndsey Uses CBT and DBT Online
Client-centered work focuses on understanding where a person is and responding with empathy and respect. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying thought patterns, testing beliefs with small experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT-style work can include learning distress-tolerance techniques, emotion regulation skills, and clearer communication.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT, client-centered techniques, or a mix will fit best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, parenting routines, or times when shorter check-ins are more helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well across these formats, so practical skill-building continues between sessions.
