About Lindsay

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of professional experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She holds the LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and works from South Carolina, offering therapeutic support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and workplace or career challenges. Her training includes evidence-based and mindfulness-informed methods that guide her collaborative work with clients.

Her style blends acceptance and commitment principles with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques, drawing on dialectical strategies and existential reflection when helpful. Lindsay emphasizes helping people build practical skills for coping with life changes, managing impulses, improving communication, and addressing self-esteem, body image, or codependency concerns.

She also attends to issues such as compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and recovery from substance-related difficulties. Clients can expect a warm, respectful approach that prioritizes personal values, real-world problem solving, and gradual skill development.

Lindsay frames therapy as a partnership and supports people in exploring purpose, strengthening self-love, and navigating forgiveness or guilt so they can move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action consistent with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to change reactions and behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse control. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be helpful when managing intense emotions or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsay works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of ACT, CBT, DBT, or client-centered strategies best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and practice new skills between meetings with support from a licensed professional.
