About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She works from Illinois and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Lindsey aims to make therapy feel straightforward and supportive for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
She commonly helps people who are dealing with depression, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges, and anger. Lindsey also supports those facing workplace strain, social anxiety, and the search for life purpose.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to addictions, bipolar symptoms, and issues tied to autism and Asperger syndrome. Lindsey uses a collaborative style that centers the client's goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused.
She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then works with them to try new ways of coping. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to help clients tolerate difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed.
Clients who value direct feedback and practical skill-building often find her approach helpful. Lindsey also brings attention to identity and diversity, creating an affirming space for LGBT clients and others from varied backgrounds. People start by identifying a few clear goals, then practice specific strategies between sessions.
Over time the focus is on building routines and small changes that add up to steadier emotional balance.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online therapy
ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It helps people move toward what matters to them even when emotions are intense, which is useful for stress, anger, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
DBT skills, drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teach ways to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. These tools are handy for anger, impulsivity, and self-harm urges because they include practical steps for moments of crisis and routines for daily stability.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a plan that may combine techniques from different models. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing practice between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to use new skills consistently.
