About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She is based in Florida and brings a practical, compassionate approach to helping people handle stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, and life transitions. She also supports those facing grief, relationship strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Dr. Ghannam uses several therapeutic approaches to help people find clearer ways forward.

Her background includes work as a crisis intervention specialist and addictions-focused roles, plus private practice experience. She holds a Doctorate in Counseling and practices as an LPC and LMHC. Those years in varied settings shaped a flexible, problem-solving style that centers the client's goals.

In sessions she blends straightforward tools with reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people commit to meaningful action, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns.

People can expect collaborative planning and clear steps they can try between sessions. She often offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapy to help with practical changes like sleep routines, coping skills, and managing overwhelming thoughts.

Outside of clinical work she shares an interest in natural approaches to well-being, nutrition, and herbal ideas. She values a down-to-earth style and aims to make sessions useful and manageable for people juggling busy family and work lives.

Dr. Ghannam speaks English and works with international clients through online formats as well as other session types. Her practice focuses on helping individuals find steady, realistic ways to feel better and move forward.

How these approaches work online

Dr. Ghannam uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps to shift routines and reactions, which can be practiced between sessions to build momentum.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clearer about their values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is useful for handling anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching flexible response strategies.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current stress or connections. This approach looks at how past relationship experiences shape reactions and helps people develop new, more effective ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow check-ins that are shorter or more frequent if helpful, and offer a choice about being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic tools and homework as in-person care, while keeping scheduling flexible and accessible.
