About Lindsey

Lindsey Khan is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She works with adults who face workplace pressures, life transitions, and challenges related to attention and impulsivity.

Lindsey focuses on practical skills and steady conversation. She helps people clarify life purpose, reduce social anxiety, and build coping strategies for daily demands. Sessions center on what someone is facing now and what steps feel manageable next.

Her approach draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Lindsey also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to guide sessions and support emotional awareness.

She has experience addressing addictions, bipolar concerns, parenting stress, LGBT issues, and patterns like codependency and control problems. Lindsey also works with people who identify with autism or Asperger syndrome, young adult issues, and social phobia.

In sessions she listens for concrete patterns and offers skills that can be practiced between meetings. People can expect clear discussion of goals and simple strategies to try in everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life purpose questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address impulsivity.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These skills are useful for strong mood swings, anger, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss your situation and goals, and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process guides which skills and exercises are emphasized in sessions.

Confirm available session formats before booking because options are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people use online sessions to practice coping skills between meetings and to apply strategies directly to daily routines.
