About Lindsay

Lindsay Smith is a Maryland-based counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She holds an MD and practices as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her style is warm and straightforward.

She aims to make starting therapy feel less overwhelming for a worried parent or an individual looking for change. She centers sessions on what matters to each person. Lindsay views clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on their strengths.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on concrete steps and small changes that can ease daily pressures. She keeps language simple and goals practical so progress is clear and measurable. Her work draws from several evidence-informed approaches.

Lindsay uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice grounding skills when emotions feel intense. Common topics she addresses include relationships and intimacy concerns, family and blended family challenges, self-esteem and body image, and overwhelming feelings tied to guilt, shame, or abandonment.

She also supports people coping with divorce, separation, and complex mood or dissociation symptoms. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and scheduling and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How Lindsay’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It works well for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear, so clients stay involved in choosing what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief reflections between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
