More about Lindsey

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW, LMSW, LISW

My approach is accepting, relaxed, and collaborative. I seek to provide a secure, non-judgmental, and encouraging environment that will lead to growth and give you room to challenge yourself.

I graduated from Michigan State University with my Bachelors in Social Work and the University of Houston with my Masters in Social Work. I have experience working with a diverse array of adults and adolescents to address a range of mental health and behavioral concern.

I grew up in Michigan and have lived in Texas off and on since 2015. I am married and a mother to one beautiful daughter. I enjoy diamond painting, reading, listening to podcasts, traveling, and spending time outdoors.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
