About Lindsay
Lindsay Mays is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with five years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, bipolar concerns, and life changes. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, sleep troubles, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work with people facing substance use and impulse-related challenges. Lindsay uses several practical approaches in sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She favors strategies that focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different ways to respond.
In a typical session she listens to immediate problems and helps identify small, testable changes. That can look like tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing grounding or mindfulness skills, or trying a new communication technique. Sessions are structured and goal-focused when useful, with space for reflection when that helps clarify next steps.
Lindsay works with adult clients on concerns such as young adult issues, workplace stress, body image, codependency, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues, commitment problems, and grief or forgiveness work. Sessions aim to build practical tools for everyday life.
Sessions are conducted in English and are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.
How Lindsay uses CBT, ACT, and client-centered methods online
Lindsay draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete problems, tracking patterns, and trying practical skills between meetings to see what helps.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build willingness to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. ACT is often helpful for people dealing with anxiety, grief, or life transitions who want clearer direction on what matters to them.
Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, giving clients room to describe what matters and set their own goals. That approach supports collaborative planning of which tools to try next, whether skill practice, behavioral experiments, or values-based steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past experiences and then try methods that fit those needs. She treats approach selection as a cooperative process and adjusts methods based on how well they work for the client.
