About Lindsay

Lindsay Mays is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds an LISW-CP credential. She has five years of clinical experience and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, and anger. Lindsay practices from South Carolina and speaks English.

She focuses on practical skills people can use right away. Sessions often include techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Lindsay also uses client-centered and existential ideas to shape conversations and priorities in session.

In a typical meeting she helps clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior, practice grounding or mindfulness skills, and try small experiments to test new ways of responding. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, workplace stress, and issues like codependency and impulsivity. Conversations are goal-focused and paced to the person’s needs.

Lindsay has experience supporting people with addiction and substance use questions, including drug and alcohol addiction. She also works with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and with attention-related struggles like ADHD. Practical coping strategies and relapse prevention are common topics when addiction is present.

Her background in social work informs a focus on real-life supports and systems around each person. People who want straightforward skills, clearer communication, and better ways to manage anger or frustration may find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take actions that align with those values. It is often useful for anger, stress, and life changes because it focuses on committed action rather than eliminating feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches specific skills for regulating emotions, managing impulses, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when frustration or resentment builds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay will collaborate with each person to choose which tools to try first, based on their goals, symptoms, and what feels workable. That means sessions can change focus over time as needs shift.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the original biography does not list specific online options. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If someone prefers skill-focused work, online meetings can concentrate on practicing CBT or DBT exercises and reviewing results between sessions.
