About Mindy
Mindy Lane is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee. She has eight years of experience helping people who are under stress, dealing with anxiety, or recovering from trauma. Mindy focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Mindy believes each person knows their own story best. She uses that starting point to build goals together.
Sessions often include chances to talk through feelings, practice new skills, and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
She pays attention to what feels doable for each person. Her approach pulls from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and skills-based methods. That means she listens first, then helps people notice patterns and test small changes.
She also draws on EMDR-informed strategies when trauma memories are part of the difficulties. People come for many concerns such as mood disorders, grief, relationship issues, addiction, parenting strain, identity questions, and challenges after adoption or foster care. Mindy helps people break big problems into manageable steps.
She focuses on concrete tools as well as the bigger life questions. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Mindy uses a collaborative style and works with each person to find a pace that fits their life.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it easier for people to begin.
How Mindy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Mindy draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows the person’s priorities, helping people feel heard and understood. CBT focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT adds clear skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and strengthening relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mindy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there she tailors methods and pacing so the plan fits the person’s life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing homework, or checking in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
