Tinsley Lemon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of combined clinical and administrative experience in mental health and substance use settings.

Her background includes direct care and program leadership in Florida and other settings, which informs a wide view of recovery and coping options.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when worry, avoidance, or mixed motivation get in the way of meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying a mix of techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection or quick check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue support across locations.
