About Lindsay
Lindsay Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, depression, and life changes. Her practice also addresses intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and issues such as abandonment, attachment, and guilt and shame.
She treats people as the experts on their own stories and focuses on strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Lindsay listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try new ways of responding.
Her clinical style blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those approaches fit a person's needs. That mix guides conversations, skill practice, and real-world experiments between sessions.
Lindsay has worked across age ranges and in individual and family settings during her career. Her experience includes addressing blended family issues, communication and control struggles, codependency and commitment concerns, and separation or divorce matters. Dissociation, disruptive mood patterns, and co-morbid conditions are also within her scope of practice.
People seeking help for guilt or shame can expect direct, nonjudgmental conversation about what those feelings mean and how they affect daily life. She encourages clear goals, small steps, and regular check-ins to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then pick actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for guilt, shame, and life-change decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits. That approach is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay views treatment as collaborative and will help clients identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress and challenges become clearer, and she checks in regularly about what is and isn't helpful.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays, to keep appointments when travel is difficult, or to use shorter check-ins during busy weeks. Online work can also make it simple to practice skills between sessions and bring issues from daily life directly into conversation.
