Lindsay Mays, LCSW, LISW-CP

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of practice to her work with adults. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction issues, and life transitions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to make therapy feel practical and approachable.

Lindsay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause distress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values. Client-centered techniques guide sessions, keeping the person’s goals and preferences central.

Sessions focus on tangible skills and real-life changes. Clients can expect clear tools for mood, sleep, and impulse control, plus communication and boundary work. Lindsay addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, workplace stress, and issues like body image and self-esteem in ways that connect to daily life.

Her background includes supporting people with substance use and addiction concerns, and she uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or impulsivity are central. Lindsay aims to help people build routines and coping strategies that fit their circumstances.

Lindsay practices from South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She works with people who want a collaborative, practical approach to mental health and life change. The emphasis is on realistic steps and steady progress toward clearer goals.

How online therapy and practical approaches work together

CBT helps people notice thoughts that lead to distress and teaches ways to test and change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and impulsive behaviors by focusing on clear strategies and homework between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck in them, and on taking actions that match personal values. It can help with stress, motivation, and making life changes that matter. Client-centered work keeps sessions guided by the person's priorities, creating space for the therapist to listen and reflect while clients set the agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend or combine methods to fit those needs. The process is collaborative and may include short-term skills work or longer term support depending on what the client wants.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video works well for in-depth conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share updates or receive brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
