About Lindsay

Lindsay Mays is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with five years of experience. She focuses on life changes and purpose, and on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Lindsay also lists work with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues like self-esteem, body image, and workplace challenges.

Lindsay uses several practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new actions. Client-centered methods guide the way she listens and responds, keeping the person’s goals central. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements and existential ideas appear when coping skills or meaning-focused conversations are useful.

Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters next. People often work on clearer decision-making, managing intense feelings, reducing substance use, improving sleep, or repairing communication. Lindsay also supports people exploring their life purpose and next steps after a major change.

She combines skills practice, values clarification, and real-world experiments. That can mean trying brief behavior changes between sessions and reflecting on what worked. The approach is collaborative - the person and Lindsay choose steps together.

Lindsay offers therapy in English and works from her South Carolina practice. If you want to begin, follow the site’s steps to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small committed steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood, worry, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort, helping therapy fit practical schedules without promising a particular service.
