Lindsey Vining , LCSW

Lindsey Vining is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW), sociologist, and life coach with more than 15 years of experience offering therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. She has supported people across a range of settings - from inpatient and outpatient programs to crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health centers, and medical clinics - and has experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, people facing serious mental health challenges, and those experiencing homelessness.

Her therapeutic approach is motivating and supportive while remaining direct; she often brings humor and optimism into sessions to build rapport and encourage meaningful change. Lindsey draws on person-centered and cognitive-behavioral frameworks and integrates Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment plans to each person’s needs. She emphasizes practical strategies for stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and coping with life transitions.

Committed to compassionate, non-biased care, she aims to empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Lindsey makes every effort to accommodate schedules and time zones and checks messages daily except Sundays. She is accepting new clients and is available to work with international clients who are seeking flexible, individualized support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lindsey offers several evidence-informed approaches adapted for online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship and helping clients find their own solutions; it is often useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with mood or behavioral concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and security in relationships to address abandonment, attachment challenges, and relational or family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsey collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailors techniques and pace so the work fits the individual situation. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to match methods to what will best support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen over video calls, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, accommodate different time zones, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
