Online support

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and shifting emotional responses in close relationships and can help people improve connection and reduce distress.

Lindsey aims to find the best approach together. She will listen to a person's goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a more natural conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs a shorter touchpoint between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or family commitments and to keep momentum between appointments.
