About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed counselor based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds the LPC and LMHC credentials and blends counseling with a holistic outlook. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and the ripple effects of life transitions.

Her background includes work as a crisis intervention specialist and addictions support, along with private practice experience. She also trained as a body-mind coach and as a domestic violence counselor, and she draws on those perspectives during sessions. This practical history informs how she approaches everyday struggles like grief, caregiver strain, or compassion fatigue.

In sessions she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Treatment tends to emphasize real skills for coping, pacing change, and clarifying values. Conversations aim to identify small, concrete steps that fit each person’s life.

She often discusses natural, lifestyle-based supports alongside talk therapy, reflecting a broader interest in nutrition, herbal approaches, and mindful routines. The goal is to help people find calmer, clearer ways to move forward after loss, major change, or ongoing stress.

Outside of work she makes time for family and for practices that support wellbeing, such as cooking and hosting a radio show about natural approaches to anxiety.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with sleep issues, depression, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current behavior, which can be helpful for relationship concerns and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The original profile does not specify exact online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes shorter check-ins easier to schedule, and reduces travel time. Online sessions can also let a therapist guide practical exercises, breathing work, or behavioral experiments that a person can practice between meetings.
