About Lindsey
Lindsey Hooker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of practice. She supports people coping with addictions, low self-esteem, relationship strain, anger, career concerns, depression, and life changes. Lindsey also works with issues around codependency, communication problems, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Lindsey also uses mindfulness exercises to help clients notice patterns without getting swept up in them. Motivational interviewing is part of her style when someone wants change but feels stuck. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and build momentum.
Clients can expect direct conversation about what is getting in the way and what could be different. Lindsey aims to break down goals into small, doable actions and tracks progress from week to week. She adjusts the focus as needs shift.
Her background includes clinical work in settings that addressed substance use and related challenges.

How sessions work
How Lindsey applies evidence-based approaches online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It helps with depression, anxiety, addictions, and self-esteem by breaking issues into concrete steps and practice tasks. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships repeatedly create conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will talk with each person about goals and daily challenges, then pick which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Therapists and licensed professionals often use a mix of skills-based exercises, goal-setting, and checklists that translate well to remote sessions, making it straightforward to practice new strategies between meetings.
