About Lindsay
Lindsay Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, life transitions, depression, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. She also addresses a range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, body image, codependency, and divorce or separation.
Her work starts with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can use between meetings, not just conversations about feelings.
She draws on several methods to match what each person needs. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. The goal is to use approaches that help with emotional regulation, clearer choices, and coping with change.
Lindsay often helps people dealing with emptiness, shame, guilt, dissociation, or co-occurring problems that make daily life harder. She works with issues around blended family dynamics and disruptive mood patterns as well. Her background covers 1:1 clinical work across developmental stages and family-related settings.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She focuses on helping clients notice patterns, try small behavioral experiments, and practice skills that reduce distress. For a first step, she asks people to describe what matters most to them and what they want to try changing next.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and pick actions tied to personal values. It can be useful for feeling stuck, low motivation, or coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It suits people who want clear strategies and short-term skill building.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay treats that choice as collaborative and will help clients decide which techniques to try based on their goals and preferences. She can introduce ACT, CBT, or mindfulness practices and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a school or work day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove commute time. Video sessions let therapists and clients practice skills together, while audio-only meetings can work when bandwidth or visual presence is a concern. Discussing which format fits your routine is part of the initial scheduling and matching process.
