About Lindsay

Lindsay Metli is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of practice who helps people create meaningful change and reach goals that improve overall well-being.

Background and approach

She approaches each person holistically, considering mind, body, and spirit, and combines that perspective with evidence-based techniques to tailor treatment to individual needs. Clients have described her as down to earth and easy to connect with, which she pairs with practical, goal-oriented work.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah, and she holds active LCSW licenses in Utah (UT LCSW 5556640-3501) and Wyoming (WY LCSW LCSW-1204).

Over her career she has worked in community mental health, independent practice, and psychiatric hospitals, and has provided group and individual treatment in a range of settings. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other clinical priorities.

She uses an integrative mix of therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches to meet each person where they are and help them progress toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care



Lindsay frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms such as anxiety and depression. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques that focus on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness for coping with intense feelings and relationship stress. Additionally, she integrates client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s own goals and perspectives to guide collaborative treatment planning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsay works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts interventions over time so care remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, apply skills in real time, and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or unpredictable.
