People who come to Lindsay often want a compassionate clinician who will listen and help them try concrete strategies. She aims to create a welcoming space where clients can explore goals and practice new ways of coping and relating.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with emotion regulation and impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsay works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they track what is helping and adjust techniques or focus as needed, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce time spent commuting, and allow for quicker check-ins between appointments. Some formats are less demanding on bandwidth or on-camera presence, which can help on hectic days. Discussing how sessions will be structured helps match the format to daily routines and goals.
