She lists additional areas such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions often include mindfulness tools, acceptance strategies, and practical skill building from cognitive and behavioral methods. Lindsay uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas when they fit a person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and moving toward valued actions. It helps people handle painful feelings while staying connected to meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect actions and mood, and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s experience guides the work; it supports people who need a steady, listening presence.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific delivery options are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, limit travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or choose video for more face-to-face interaction. These practical choices help therapy fit day-to-day life without promising any single format.
