Lindsay Metli is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of practice. She helps people set practical goals to feel better and manage day-to-day challenges. Lindsay aims to make sessions down to earth and easy to follow for people under stress.
She uses a whole-person approach that looks at mind, body, and spirit to tailor care to each person. That can include skills from cognitive behavioral work, mindful practice, or strategies drawn from dialectical behavior methods. Lindsay also uses EMDR when it fits the person’s needs and goals.
Lindsay trained at the University of Utah, earning a Master of Social Work after completing a Bachelor of Science in psychology. She has practiced in community mental health, independent practice, and psychiatric hospitals, and has run therapy groups in correctional and transitional housing settings.
Her main clinical interests include trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, and adjusting to big life changes. She also lists self esteem, parenting strain, grief, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among focus areas. Lindsay draws on a mix of evidence-based tools to match what a person needs in the moment.
At home she manages a blended family with a toddler and two teen stepchildren while her husband serves in the military. That lived experience informs her understanding of juggling responsibilities, household stress, and caregiver strain. She invites people to start with clear, manageable steps toward change.
Approaches Lindsay Uses and How They Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and shaping therapy around a person’s priorities. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and set practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, helps process traumatic memories by combining focused recall with specific bilateral stimulation and can assist people who are stuck in painful memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay will collaborate to figure out which methods suit a person’s needs, goals, and style. That might mean trying a skills-based plan for several weeks, then shifting to EMDR or mindfulness techniques if the needs change. The plan is adjusted together as progress and preferences become clear.

Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work also makes short check-ins and focused skill practice easier to schedule around school, work, or caregiving duties.
