How Lindsey’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions and emphasizes practical experiments rather than debating thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and building coping skills that show up in daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and preferences. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering reflection and support while helping the person set their own goals.
Finding the best approach is part of therapy. Lindsey will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision usually unfolds across the first few sessions as priorities become clearer.
