01 · Who Lindsay works with
Lindsay lists 15 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Lindsay chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Lindsay's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am passionate about the work I do and take a strength based approach with the clients I work with! You are the expert with what is going on for you, I am here to help you problem solve and give you the tools to meet your goals! I am genuine and transparent with clients. I want to help you achieve your goals by working together to get solutions to your problems and helping you to make any life changes that will help you achieve your goals!
I want clients I work with to overcome whatever barriers are keeping them from meeting their goals and to feel happy and fulfilled with life. Dealing with emotional pain and difficult life changes can make this challenging and we all need support from time to time to overcome difficult situations and meet our goals.
I am a LCSW and have been in the field for 19 years. I have a bachelors degree in psychology, masters and certification in special education and a masters in social work. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, outpatient, in home and school settings. I have also worked with clients with a variety of backgrounds and presenting issues. I take an eclectic approach to my work and treat each case individually so that clients and families get their needs met. I am certified in Trauma Recovery and Empowerment model, trained in EMDR and am always attending trainings so that I can advocate and best meet the needs of the clients I work with.

03 · What happens next
Lindsay practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Lindsay's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Lindsay at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Lindsay is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Lindsay.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Lindsay actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Lindsay's - Lindsay has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 18 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Lindsay's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Lindsay. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
