About Lindsay
Lindsay Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with eight years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, life changes, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. Lindsay also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and other related struggles.
She works in a straightforward, person-centered way. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the client and identifying nearby, practical steps. Lindsay uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches when those methods fit.
Her style is collaborative. Clients set goals and they track small changes between sessions. Conversations often include concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication at home. Lindsay also helps people process separation, grief, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
For adults juggling parenting, relationships, or life transitions, she offers clear strategies for coping and staying connected to values. She has worked with a range of ages over her career and applies an integrative approach to match each person’s needs. Practical planning and skill practice are common parts of the work.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her Maryland practice. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for decisions, life changes, and handling difficult feelings without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the kinds of tools that feel most useful. Together they try methods, review progress, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working as hoped.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy routine and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or schedule shorter follow-ups when needed. Session formats and exact options are not listed here, so confirm current session choices before booking to see which formats are offered and to plan what will fit into your schedule.
