Approaches Lindsey names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches to change you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking small actions that matter to you. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward meaningful goals rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses clear, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build healthier behaviors for issues like anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and texting work well for brief updates, shorter check-ins, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days or different time zones.
