How Lindsey’s Approaches Work Online

Lindsey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT is practical and aims to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic thinking by changing daily habits and thought patterns.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the client's perspective at the center of the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the person guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Mindfulness techniques are included when useful to help with sleep troubles, racing thoughts, and staying grounded during stress. These are simple exercises that can be practiced between sessions to support daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lindsey collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and adjusts the plan as needs change. She talks through options and helps set small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video works well for deeper, face-to-face conversations; phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed; chat or text can support brief updates and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules shift.
