Background and approach

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career stress, addictions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other issues. Her interventions draw from cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavioral skills, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

She has also supported people coping with trauma, emotional abuse, personality disorders, autism spectrum concerns, and intimacy-related or alternative sexuality questions.

She welcomes those ready to take active steps toward change and frames therapy as a partnership that blends empathy with skillful direction to move toward meaningful goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Lyndsey commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. DBT emphasizes building practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense mood swings, relationship struggles, and impulse-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how well methods fit the client’s needs and preferences. This partnership helps ensure the work stays practical and grounded in what the client hopes to change.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow sessions to fit varied schedules and daily routines while providing regular opportunities to practice skills, review progress, and receive coaching between sessions when needed.
