How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online therapy

CBT helps you identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to improve mood and functioning. It is useful for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and many day-to-day problems. DBT focuses on skills for handling intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is helpful for anger, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods as needed. She aims to match practical tools to the issues you bring in a way that feels manageable.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during workday breaks or evenings. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when bandwidth or energy is limited, while others like a full session with video for more interaction.
