About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is an LCSW licensed in Illinois with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, self-esteem issues, depression, ADHD, addictions, and related concerns such as codependency and control issues.
She focuses on practical skills people can use day to day. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning ways to manage strong emotions, and practicing clearer boundaries. Lindsey pays attention to how workplace stress and life transitions affect mood and behavior.
Her work blends several evidence-based approaches. Lindsey uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take action that fits those values.
She incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills for handling intense feelings and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for understanding relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy informs a style that keeps the conversation focused on the person in front of her rather than a fixed agenda.
People who tend to put others first, struggle to say no, or find themselves caught up in another person’s moods often find the sessions relevant. Lindsey also works with issues linked to autism spectrum differences, impulsivity, social anxiety, young adult transitions, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from her Illinois practice. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire to pick a time and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck, unsure of life purpose, or caught up in people-pleasing patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Lindsey will work with each person to map goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time based on what helps most. That means sessions can include skill practice, coaching on boundary-setting, or reflection on values depending on what the client needs.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoiding travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Sessions are conducted in English and will focus on applying ACT and CBT skills to everyday situations, such as managing anxiety, setting limits, and responding differently to control issues.
