About Lindsay
Lindsay Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with eight years of experience practicing in Maryland. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, and common life transitions. She also helps people facing depression, intimacy issues, and concerns about self-esteem.
Lindsay believes people know their story best and brings a respectful, curious stance to sessions. She aims to create an understanding, compassionate atmosphere where clients can talk about what matters to them. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, encouraging small steps toward change.
Her work draws on several practical approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness-based ideas are woven in to help with stress regulation and staying present.
She favors a client-centered, strengths-based stance that keeps the person’s goals in focus. That means listening first, then tailoring tools and exercises that match each client’s needs. Sessions typically include clear strategies, short practices, and discussion about how to apply insights in daily life.
Lindsay has supported people through attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, communication struggles, and issues like codependency, body image, and guilt or shame. She also addresses more complex presentations such as dissociation and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns when relevant.
Parents and individuals who want a practical, compassionate collaborator may find her approach approachable. She encourages starting small, trying techniques together, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

How some approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small committed actions toward those values while learning to observe difficult thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides clear skills to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lindsay works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they try tools, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so the work feels relevant and doable.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness or behavioral exercises in real-life settings between meetings. Many clients find virtual work helps them practice skills in their usual environment and keeps momentum between visits. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT strategies effectively for remote sessions by assigning brief practices, using worksheets, and reviewing progress together.
