Online support
How Lindsay’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities while offering support and reflection to clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It uses straightforward exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression.
EMDR is a trauma-oriented method that works with distressing memories and the body’s reactions to them. When used, it involves guided attention and processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest methods that fit. The plan is developed together and adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online sessions can be a flexible option. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer more frequent, brief touchpoints for skill practice or quick support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other obligations.
