About Lindsey

Lindsey Peterson is a Minnesota-licensed LICSW with 16 years of clinical experience who supports people navigating grief, life transitions, ADHD-related challenges, stress, anxiety, and a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

She creates a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult feelings and practical obstacles, and she emphasizes collaborative work to identify meaningful goals and strategies. Lindsey’s background includes assisting those facing addiction, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, and coaching for life changes.

Her practice also addresses longer-term and complex issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, autism spectrum challenges, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, family and communication problems, and struggles with guilt, shame, or codependency.

Lindsey integrates evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered and Existential approaches to tailor the work to each person’s needs. She encourages people to take the first step toward support and works alongside them to build clearer coping skills and more purposeful ways of living.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while clarifying values to guide meaningful action; it can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reorganizing emotional responses to improve connection with oneself and others and can support work around grief, communication problems, and relationship-related distress.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Lindsey works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, adapting methods from these models so the plan fits each person's needs rather than adhering to a single rigid protocol.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer working from home or elsewhere. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, try different ways of working together, and access support from a licensed professional without requiring travel.
