Shandi Lindsey, LPC

Shandi Lindsey is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable for those who are worried or overwhelmed.

Shandi centers sessions on what matters most to each person. She combines practical tools with open listening so clients can practice changes between visits. She also brings a Christian-informed perspective for clients who want spiritual values included in their work.

Her approach emphasizes building coping skills, reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life, and untangling guilt and shame that often follow painful experiences. She guides people through steps to process trauma and to set achievable goals for recovery and growth.

Shandi has six years of counseling experience working with mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, post-traumatic stress, and addiction concerns. Her counseling style tends to be collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on small, useful changes that add up over time.

Sessions use tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She practices in Oregon and conducts sessions in English for people who want a clinician willing to address both emotional and faith-related concerns.

Approaches you can use online with a therapist

Shandi uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps and practical exercises that clients can practice between sessions.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy and helping each person set their own goals. That approach is useful when someone needs space to process trauma, grief, guilt or shame while feeling heard and respected.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shandi will collaborate with clients to select methods that match their needs, goals and personal values, including faith when desired. She adjusts techniques as progress moves forward so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into school, work, or caregiving routines while keeping treatment consistent and goal-focused.
