About Lindsey
Lindsey Vining, LCSW, helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns.

She brings 15 years of experience from inpatient and outpatient care, crisis and shelter work, community mental health, and medical clinic settings. That background means she has worked with people who have survived domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health challenges, and homelessness. Lindsey combines that real-world experience with steady, empathetic support.
Her style is motivating and direct. She uses humor and optimism when appropriate and prefers to be nonjudgmental. Lindsey adapts sessions to each person's needs and builds a plan that fits their goals and daily life.
Therapeutically she draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when helpful. These approaches inform practical exercises, thought work, and coping strategies.
She welcomes people from different time zones and tries to accommodate schedules. Lindsey checks messages most days except Sundays and aims to make starting therapy straightforward for those ready to take a next step.

How Lindsey’s methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current needs and reactions, which can help with intimacy and family-related struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences and adjust as progress is made. The plan can mix techniques so sessions match what the person needs that week.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and eliminate travel time. It also lets therapists share worksheets, practice skills between sessions, and use video or audio to support emotionally focused work. Ask about scheduling options and format choices when you start the matching process to find what will work best for your routine.
