About Lindsay
Lindsay Scoffil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 7 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and LGBT concerns. Her practice also addresses grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting pressures, career setbacks, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. Lindsay draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people notice what matters and take manageable steps. She also integrates attachment-focused ideas when relationships or past caregiving experiences are central to the issue.
In meetings she listens for practical patterns and habits that keep problems going. Then she helps people try small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. This can mean learning emotion regulation techniques, practicing concrete communication skills, or building routines for sleep and cravings.
Lindsay has particular experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, body image, and isolation. She also works with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, impulsivity, and symptoms related to dissociation. Her background includes several years working directly with addiction and trauma-related challenges.
If someone is weighing whether therapy fits their life, she encourages a short intake to see how her style aligns with their needs. Sessions are conducted in English and follow state LMHC practice in Florida. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-driven actions to improve daily life, which can help with anxiety, stress, and questions about purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and thought-reframing to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problematic habits like disruptive sleep or unhelpful eating patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy targets memories and reactions linked to past trauma. Work often includes grounding skills, pacing the material, and developing coping strategies for triggers and intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins around work or study, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Ask about the available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match daily life and goals.
