About Lindsay

Lindsay Brathwaite is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in Connecticut and Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, grief, addiction, and life transitions. Lindsay also lists support for issues such as ADHD, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, and LGBT-related matters.

She uses a mix of approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT). In sessions she helps clients talk through what’s happening, identify practical steps, and practice new ways of coping. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on concrete next steps rather than abstract theories.

Lindsay describes her work as trauma-informed and person-centered. She pays attention to how culture and background shape a person’s choices and feelings. She helps people recognize patterns rooted in family of origin, attachment, or past losses and then try different responses in day-to-day life.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted as needed. Lindsay also blends coaching elements for people who want more skills around career, boundaries, or managing stress. She lists experience with both clinical concerns and practical life problems.

Sessions are offered to adults in Texas and Connecticut. Conversations are performed in English. For information about session formats and booking, follow the site’s online therapy options and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past bonds shape current reactions. It can be useful for people who feel stuck in repeating relationship cycles or who struggle with closeness and trust.

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Sessions use listening and reflection to clarify what matters most and to support decision making around relationships, career moves, or identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes to shift those patterns. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or problems evolve.

Confirm the session formats Lindsay offers before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit visits around work or school, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Pick what fits your schedule and daily life, and discuss any adjustments at your first appointment.
