She supports people facing a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and various personality disorders.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapeutic Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, while teaching techniques to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck by them. It is often useful for persistent anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges by building new coping skills and problem-solving strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends acceptance and change strategies and emphasizes skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be particularly helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and self-management difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Lindsay collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these models to create a personalized plan and adjusts that plan as progress develops.

Online therapy with Lindsay is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home, work, or while traveling, and they expand access to licensed professionals for those who need adaptable scheduling and formats.
