Online support

How Lindsey Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and addiction-related thinking patterns and includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can help people who struggle with impulsivity, intense anger, or self-destructive habits by offering step-by-step coping practices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, questions, or supplementing longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
