About Lindsay
Lindsay Metli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience based in Utah. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and addiction. Lindsay also works with people facing grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career-related strain.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. She has provided care in community mental health, private practice, and psychiatric hospital settings. Earlier work in child welfare and volunteer roles in correctional mental health shaped her practical approach to helping people manage difficult circumstances.
Lindsay describes her method as integrative. She draws on practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, practicing new skills, and setting clear, achievable goals.
People meet with Lindsay to create steps that change daily routines and reduce overwhelming reactions. She uses short exercises, skill practice, and focused conversation to help someone try different ways of responding. Progress is tracked in small, observable ways so adjustments can be made.
Outside work she balances a blended family and caregiving responsibilities. That experience informs how she helps people who juggle multiple roles and shifting schedules. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to outline initial goals.
How her approaches translate to online care
Lindsay commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and to practice different behavioral responses. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and short experiments to test what changes daily life.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness. DBT skills are practical steps for handling intense feelings and improving communication. EMDR is another approach she may use for processing traumatic memories, working through targeted memories with guided techniques.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients can adjust the plan as they learn which exercises and skills are most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. Therapists often combine skill practice, worksheets, and focused conversation so work started in a session can be continued between meetings.
