About Lindsay

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of practice to her work. She uses straightforward language and a calm presence to help people deal with stress, anxiety, addiction, and self-esteem struggles. Lindsay aims to make sessions feel welcoming and practical for day-to-day life.

She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Lindsay focuses on helping people notice what matters to them, build useful skills, and make changes that fit their lives. She pays attention to how thoughts, habits, and relationships affect mood and behavior.

In sessions she offers hands-on tools for coping with big changes, managing anger, improving sleep, and identifying patterns around substance use. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, workplace stress, and guilt and shame. The work often includes practice between meetings to make progress steady and concrete.

Lindsay’s background includes a master’s degree in social work and training as a licensed addiction counselor. She practices from South Carolina as indicated in her professional details, and she brings both clinical and practical experience to conversations about recovery and growth.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. She helps people set clear goals, try small experiments, and notice what helps. That approach is useful for someone wanting steady support while building confidence and healthier habits.

How Lindsay’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on what matters most to a person and on taking small actions that match those values. It can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and making life changes by teaching people to notice thoughts without letting them dictate behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lindsay will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The process emphasizes collaboration, clear steps, and small practices that can be tried between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to make consistent progress while keeping the work practical and goal-focused.
