About Lindsey
Lindsey Vining is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She supports those facing addictions, parenting strain, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Lindsey aims to make therapy direct but encouraging, using optimism and occasional humor to ease the work.
She brings about 15 years of experience from hospital, clinic, community mental health, crisis shelter, and outpatient settings.
Background and approach
That background means she is familiar with responses to domestic violence, sexual assault, and serious mental health challenges. Her experience also includes work with people facing homelessness and emergency needs. Lindsey’s style balances a person-centered attitude with clear, practical techniques.
She leans on cognitive-behavioral ideas and acceptance strategies while staying collaborative and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on real skills people can use between meetings to feel better and make changes. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when those are relevant, and she uses mindfulness and distress-tolerance strategies when emotions run high.
Lindsey writes treatment plans that fit each person’s situation rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Her approach is goal-oriented but flexible. Lindsey works with adults and younger people who need support through life transitions, loss, or ongoing mental health struggles.
She is based in Mississippi and conducts work in English. Lindsey values clear communication and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
How Lindsey’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take action that matches those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people build healthier ways of relating and connecting when relationship issues or trust concerns are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest strategies that fit your situation. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during care.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with a licensed professional. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief updates, homework check-ins, or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other demands while still getting consistent support.
