About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 22 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, and questions about life purpose. She practices in Illinois and focuses on practical ways to handle workplace pressure, social anxiety, and the everyday effects of ADHD and impulsivity. Lindsey aims to make therapy a straightforward part of life for people who are juggling many demands.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first and helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Sessions tend to focus on small, concrete steps that build better coping and clearer thinking over time.
In therapy she uses tools from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused approaches to address depression, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Lindsey also draws on dialectical skills when clients need help with strong emotions or self-harm urges. These methods are adapted to each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone.
She works with people dealing with addictions, bipolar challenges, and codependency patterns, and supports those exploring identity and LGBT concerns. Lindsey pays attention to life transitions and the strains of parenting while keeping the work focused on day-to-day change.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, joint planning, and a focus on habits that improve mood and functioning. Lindsey aims to help people leave sessions with one or two doable steps to try between meetings.
How Lindsey’s approaches work for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck about life direction or purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to feelings in relationships and helps people name and shift emotional responses to connect more effectively.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. She blends techniques rather than sticking to one model, and checks in regularly to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to use written exercises, between-session practice, and real-time problem solving during work or family breaks. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to how people live and work, helping skills carry over into everyday routines.
