About Lindsay
Lindsay Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on issues like intimacy concerns and self-esteem, and she lists blended family issues among her areas of attention.
She takes a practical, client-centered approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on their strengths. Sessions are intended to be a place to talk through what matters and to identify steps forward.
Lindsay draws on several therapeutic methods to fit what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She blends these approaches with a client-centered stance to address symptoms and everyday problems alike.
Her background includes work across age groups in individual and family counseling settings. That experience informs how she helps people handle communication breakdowns, commitment and control issues, and parenting transitions tied to separation or blended households.
People who contact her can expect straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. She encourages practical skills for coping, clearer communication, and managing difficult feelings. If someone wants to begin, the next step is to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and situations that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and recurring relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That may mean combining techniques from different approaches as needed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel, or reduce time away from work or childcare. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to an online setting to focus on skills, communication strategies, and coping plans that fit day-to-day life.
