About Lindsay
Lindsay Mays is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds an LISW-CP credential, with five years of clinical experience. She practices in South Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar symptoms, and issues around self-esteem and life changes. Lindsay also lists concerns such as guilt and shame, relationship and intimacy-related problems, trauma and abuse, and workplace and career struggles.
Her style is grounded in practical conversation. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can try between meetings, and tracking which strategies help. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy principles shape how she listens and responds.
Lindsay also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Existential Therapy when it fits the issue. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, practicing distress tolerance, or talking about meaning and values when life feels off course. These approaches are used together rather than as a single fixed method.
She keeps things straightforward in session. People are invited to share what feels hardest, try small experiments, and re-evaluate what’s working. Conversations can cover practical coping, communication habits, substance use patterns, and decisions about relationships or work.
The practice communicates in English and does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, follow the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Online sessions and how therapy methods translate
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It helps when guilt or shame keeps you stuck and you want to live with more purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the person’s concerns so they can find their own solutions and set goals that make sense to them.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches like CBT often use worksheets or between-session experiments that adapt well to remote work, while ACT and client-centered conversation can move between reflection and practical tasks in an online meeting.
