About Lindsey

Lindsey Khan is an Illinois-based LCSW with 22 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on assisting clients who face depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem struggles, and challenges related to ADHD and impulsivity, while also addressing concerns such as addictions, bipolar symptoms, and relationship difficulties. Her background includes work with issues like social anxiety, codependency, and discovering life purpose, and she brings that breadth into each therapeutic relationship.

Her style blends compassion with collaboration, creating a respectful space for exploration and practical change. Lindsey draws on evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, and emotion-focused interventions to help clients build coping skills and clarify goals.

She emphasizes tailored care, meeting clients where they are and adapting tools to fit individual needs rather than applying a single formula. Practicing in Illinois, Lindsey offers sessions in English and welcomes people seeking an affirming, progressive therapeutic environment.

She aims to support growth through empathetic listening, concrete skills training, and attention to the unique context of each person’s life and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them; it is often useful for stress, life transitions, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then developing practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and relational patterns, supporting deeper emotional understanding and change in how people connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lindsey collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That collaborative exploration may blend aspects of ACT, CBT, and EFT so techniques are tailored to what actually helps in a client's life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from Illinois-based therapists without the need to commute.
