About Lindsey
Lindsey Hoffman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of practice in Hawaii. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and social anxiety and phobia among other issues. Lindsey provides direct, practical help and listens as people describe what feels hardest right now.
She has spent much of her time supporting people with postpartum mood concerns, family conflict, parenting struggles, and life transitions. Her background includes work with military families, adolescents, and people in the LGBTQ+ community. Lindsey uses a strengths-based approach that centers what a person already does well.
In sessions she talks through current concerns and goals, and helps people identify steps they can try between meetings. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when past events continue to cause distress.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage strong feelings or racing thoughts. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to develop short-term goals and clear next steps. Lindsey aims to match methods to what a person needs and prefers rather than following a single method.
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. People are invited to set goals, try skills, and check what works. The first step is a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how the two of you could work together.
How Lindsey uses therapy approaches online
Many of Lindsey's methods translate to talk sessions and skill practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see if they help; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an approach used to reduce the hold of distressing memories so they cause less strong reactions in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss your history, goals, and preferences and help decide whether CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps fit best. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping contact when travel or distance makes in-person meetings harder. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to try short check-ins, practice skills between meetings, and plan steps that fit into everyday life.
