About Lindsey

Lindsey Hoffman is an LCSW who draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical social work experience in Hawaii, she blends cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused techniques to support clients facing postpartum mood concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Her background includes work with people from diverse backgrounds, including military families and members of the LGBTQ community.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, meeting clients where they are and collaborating to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions emphasize listening, validation, and practical skills such as coping strategies, emotion regulation, and problem-solving.

Lindsey also offers trauma processing tools when appropriate, and incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients build resilience and move toward meaningful change. Clients describe her manner as warm, nonjudgmental, and authentic, and she centers care on individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Lindsey’s practice includes attention to concerns like ADHD, grief, sleep and eating issues, relationship and family dynamics, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress, tailoring interventions to each person’s priorities and strengths.

Practical therapies for online healing and growth



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it can be useful for post-traumatic stress, panic, and other trauma-related symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy offers tools to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor a combination of techniques that feel most helpful. Clients are encouraged to share what works and what doesn’t so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Hawaii and to fit therapy into busy lives while using the therapeutic methods described above.
