About Lindsey
Lindsey Vining is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in therapeutic work. She is based in Mississippi and focuses on worries such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and codependency.
Lindsey has worked in many settings, including inpatient and outpatient care, crisis and emergency shelters, community mental health, and medical clinics. She has experience supporting people who have faced domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health challenges, and homelessness.
Her style is direct and motivating, with a practical tone that includes some humor and optimism. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused. She blends a person-centered stance with cognitive methods to help people notice patterns and make changes.
Therapeutic approaches Lindsey uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She also draws on solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to shape concrete steps between sessions.
Lindsey aims to adapt treatment plans to each person's situation and practical goals. She notes a nonjudgmental attitude and tries to accommodate schedules and time zones when possible. Messages are checked daily except Sundays.
For people who have a pattern of putting others first or struggling with boundary and attachment concerns, Lindsey offers a straightforward, skills-oriented process to identify patterns, practice new responses, and build clearer personal priorities.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help when avoidance or people-pleasing keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want step-by-step tools.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has helped in the past, and what feels doable now. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find virtual work helps fit sessions into a busy life - it can make scheduling across time zones easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Online sessions also let therapists use worksheets, thought records, and mindfulness practices in ways that can be shared during the meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to the online setting so clients practice skills between sessions and track what changes.
