About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida, Oregon, Kansas (LSCSW), New Hampshire, and Texas. I received my Master's degree from Louisiana State University and have been practicing for 9 years. I help adults find ways to heal their anxiety and depression, help them become more self-aware, and to stop negative thinking, so they can become the best versions of themselves. I help adults ages 18+ struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, suicidal ideations, self-harm, grief/loss, and life transitions. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities such as CBT, CPT, DBT, ACT, Interpersonal, Narrative, Supportive, Compassionate, Grief, and various others depending on your needs. I help clients stay in the present moment (utilizing other techniques) as this can be very difficult to do in our busy lives today. I became a social worker because I want to help people feel better about themselves and their lives. I no longer wanted to be "just an employee" and work for a large organization. I wanted to use my strengths and abilities to help others because it would be challenging and rewarding. Therapy is a form of "self-care", and we will work together as a team to address your specific challenges, goals, and needs. I am dedicated, passionate, and caring. I also conduct emotional support animal evaluations in Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, Kansas, and Oregon. If you would like more information about me or getting an emotional support animal evaluation completed, please visit my website at instillinghopepsychotherapy.com.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and discuss what you are looking for in your therapeutic experiences. This will help me form a tailored plan for the direction we will go in our following session.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a therapist are my empathic nature and my drive to assist others in problem solving. I want my clients to feel that they are heard and understood. My goal is to get you to the place that you strive to be. I am empowering, caring, great listener, and clients find it easy to talk to me.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. I have used CBT with my clients to assist them in self-discovery to understand their fears and insecurities, so they feel more confident to change behaviors and enhance their lifestyle.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is especially effective for people who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions. I have used DBT to assist them in managing their emotions in times of a crisis or in high stress environments by helping them understand their triggers and assisting them with practical solutions when issues arise to help them feel more prepared and confident to cope with life's challenges.

Grief Therapy

I utilize this treatment method to help clients experiencing grief in many forms such as the loss of a relationship, job, significant other, family members, and friends.

I couldn't select all the aspects I feel that Lyndsey possess as a provider, I was limited to only two. Need I add in addition to being solution oriented, and humorous. She is very intelligent, empowering, open minded, direct, warm, and the list can go on. I have been working with her this past year and I must say she is an amazing person which makes her amazing at what she does. I followed her to this platform and as needed I'll follow her to another if the occasion arises.

I had a great experience with Lindsey. She is warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to, while also being direct and thoughtful. I felt heard, understood, and respected. Lindsey created a comfortable space where I could openly share my thoughts and concerns without feeling judged. I appreciated her practical approach and the insights she provided. I left the session feeling encouraged and more hopeful. I would highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a caring and supportive therapist.

Very easy to talk to. Offers suggestions, support and most understanding about sensitive topics. Thank you for your kindness and willingness to go slow as some things are very fragile.
