About Lindsey
Lindsey Vining is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and addictions. She works with adults and adolescents on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, eating and body image issues, and major life transitions.
Lindsey brings a direct but warm presence to sessions and aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health, and medical clinics. She has supported people impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health issues, and homelessness. That breadth of experience shapes how she sees safety and stability as starting points for progress.
In sessions Lindsey leans on attachment-focused ideas alongside client-centered and cognitive approaches. She uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and strategies that build values-based action from acceptance and commitment therapy. She also draws on dialectical skills for emotion regulation and clear communication tools.
Her style is motivating and supportive while remaining direct. She uses humor and optimism when helpful, and she works with each person to build a tailored plan that fits their life and goals. Lindsey emphasizes nonjudgmental care and practical steps rather than vague promises.
She offers sessions in English and accommodates different schedules and time zones when possible. Lindsey welcomes people who are ready to begin working through hard problems and take small steps toward a more manageable life.

Online support
How attachment and action-focused approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and expectations. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in attachment, build safer ways of relating, and practice new responses to closeness and distance.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance, increase meaningful action, and manage painful thoughts without getting stuck on them.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is important, and helps the person steer the work based on their goals and needs.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lindsey will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's history, current challenges, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and goals are refined.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see visual cues and work through interactive exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules or locations vary.
