About Lyndia
Lyndia Benion is an Alabama licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT with 40 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, parenting strain, anger, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
She uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. Sessions focus on everyday problems and concrete steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to keep sessions structured and actionable.
Her background includes long experience working with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, codependency, commitment and control struggles, and consequences of drug and alcohol use. She also addresses infidelity, jealousy, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and problems that arise after natural or human-caused disasters.
Clients with military or veteran-related concerns are also within her experience, alongside those dealing with family problems and forgiveness work. She tends to use clear, short-term goals and exercises people can practice between meetings.
In sessions she listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior, then tests small changes in thinking or action. That can mean learning relaxation and mindfulness exercises, trying different responses in relationships, or setting boundaries in family situations. The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, which helps people take meaningful steps despite difficult feelings.She treats online work as a collaborative process. The client and therapist review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. Finding the right mix of CBT exercises, mindfulness skills, and solution-focused tasks is part of the work together.
