About Lindsay
Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and holds a South Carolina LISW-CP credential. She brings five years of clinical experience to her practice and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and codependency. Lindsay aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
She uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients find more balance in daily life. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered and Existential ideas. Sessions include mindfulness practices and skill-based work to manage intense emotions, sleep trouble, and impulsive reactions.
Lindsay often helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns, workplace stress, grief or life changes, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. She also supports those working through substance and drug or alcohol addiction and related recovery challenges. Her practice addresses issues common to young adults and women, and she attends to compassion fatigue and burnout.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals, small practical steps, and building skills that carry into everyday routines. Clients can expect a mix of reflective conversation and hands-on tools for coping and communication. Lindsay explains options and works with each person to find what feels useful.
Her practice is based in South Carolina and operates within the scope of her LCSW and LISW-CP credentials.
Therapeutic approaches and how they can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It often includes simple mindfulness exercises and practical commitments to change behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity and relationship strain.Lindsay sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try tools that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. The early sessions are often about trying a few techniques and then focusing on the ones that make sense for daily life.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm the available options before booking. A conversation about scheduling and format happens during the matching and intake steps so sessions align with work, school, or family rhythms.
