About Lindsay

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of experience to her practice. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and works from South Carolina. Lindsay aims to create a warm, respectful space where clients can talk about what’s hard and figure out practical next steps.

Her approach centers on listening first. She uses client-centered work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-focused ideas to offer clear tools for managing mood and stress.

Lindsay commonly helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout. She also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and challenges with self-esteem or identity. Her background includes work with issues such as trauma, anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and workplace stress.

In sessions she focuses on simple, usable skills. That might mean learning grounding or breathing practices, spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts, or choosing actions that match personal values. She aims to make progress steady and understandable rather than rushed.

Lindsay encourages people who want a collaborative relationship. She helps each person set goals and checks in on whether the plan feels helpful. If you want someone who listens and offers practical ways to move forward, she may be a good fit.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lindsay uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. ACT is useful for depression and anxiety when people want to live more in line with their priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT offers concrete strategies for low mood, sleep issues, and anxiety by changing thought and behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape a plan that fits. That plan can combine elements from different methods so the person gets tools that feel useful and realistic.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking since session types were not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit check-ins into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent sessions when helpful. Therapists can also adapt exercises like mindfulness, behavior experiments, and homework to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
