She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Sessions typically blend these methods so they fit the issue at hand. She has worked across age groups including children, adolescents, young adults, and adults in individual and family counseling.
People who prefer straightforward, skills-based work may find her style helpful. Lindsay aims to make sessions a place where difficult topics can be named and practical options explored. She encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and steadier coping.

How Lindsay uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It focuses less on eliminating thoughts and more on living in line with chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete ways to notice patterns of thinking and behavior and to try experiments that change those patterns. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in the moment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lindsay collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. She suggests options, checks what feels useful, and adjusts techniques as needs change so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills between meetings in the places where they live and interact, which many find helpful for building new habits.
