About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is an LPC and LMHC based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and ADHD. She also offers coaching-style supports for career questions and life transitions.

Dr. Ghannam mixes practical conversation with evidence-informed techniques. Sessions focus on learning skills people can use between meetings. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thoughts, shift responding, and build small habits that reduce overwhelm.

Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns or early losses are part of the problem. Client-centered listening is a steady part of her style, leaving space for clients to set priorities and goals. Existential themes can appear when people are struggling with meaning, identity, or life stage choices.

Her background includes work as a crisis intervention specialist and addictions support, plus clinical research experience. That mix informs a practical, goal-oriented way of working that still attends to relationships and values. She also has experience addressing caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family concerns.

People who reach out often want help getting unstuck - whether from the pressure of early adult life, job transitions, parenting demands, or persistent worry. The first sessions typically clarify goals, identify a few skills to try, and plan follow-up steps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and trying to make big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces practical exercises to reduce worry and improve sleep or mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and can help when trust, abandonment, or repeated relationship patterns cause distress.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. Clients often combine elements from different methods as work progresses, with the therapist guiding which tools to practice between sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit meetings around work or study, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to link therapy goals to everyday routines like sleep, study, or parenting tasks, while keeping focus on skills and steps that carry into daily life.
