About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose. Lindsey also helps people dealing with ADHD, impulsivity, workplace challenges, and social anxiety.
She focuses on practical skills and clear conversation. Sessions look at everyday patterns that get in the way of goals. Lindsey uses evidence-based methods to help people notice thoughts, try new actions, and manage intense emotions in the moment.
Lindsey often supports people during life transitions. That includes those rethinking work, handling changes in relationships, or wanting a clearer sense of direction. She also addresses parenting stress, self-esteem issues, addiction concerns, and mood challenges such as bipolar symptoms.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens and then suggests strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused approaches. Sessions blend practical exercises, skill building, and reflective conversation.
Lindsey works with people from diverse backgrounds and welcomes questions related to LGBT concerns and neurodiversity such as autism or Asperger syndrome. She can help people untangle control issues, codependency, impulsivity, and self-harm urges while keeping the focus on usable steps forward.
People who want to clarify next steps or reduce day-to-day overwhelm often find this approach helpful. To begin, she asks about current struggles, what matters most, and small changes that feel realistic in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking small actions toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, feeling stuck, or questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and everyday problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity and intense mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques over several sessions and adjusting the plan based on what feels most useful.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between commitments. Different ways of meeting can also make some exercises or check-ins easier to do, such as shorter phone check-ins or video sessions for conversational work. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when arranging the first appointment so sessions match day-to-day routines and practical needs.
