About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed counselor who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and combines talk therapy with a mindful, whole-person perspective. She speaks English and works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting strain, depression, grief, and life changes.

Her background includes roles as a crisis intervention specialist and addictions worker, plus years in private practice. That mix of clinical work and research informs how she plans sessions and sets goals with clients. She also draws on client-centered and attachment-focused ideas to help people feel understood.

In sessions she uses practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Conversations often include skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep routines, and coping with relationship or family stress. She also addresses work and career concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Dr. Ghannam emphasizes simple, doable steps people can try between meetings. She is comfortable supporting clients dealing with trauma, grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, and adoption or attachment concerns. She also brings sensitivity to aging-related and medical issues.

Outside clinical work she promotes natural approaches to wellbeing and enjoys cooking, tea, and family time. Prospective clients who want a collaborative, mindful approach can select the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule according to availability.

Mindfulness and practical therapy online

Mindfulness work in her approach emphasizes simple present-moment practices and body awareness. This helps people notice stress signals, calm racing thoughts, and build steadier daily routines that can support sleep and reduce anxiety.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions. It pairs acceptance of difficult feelings with practical steps toward what matters, which can help with depression, life transitions, and career decisions.

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding relationship patterns and how early bonds shape reactions today. This approach can be useful for improving communication, managing relationship tensions, and addressing attachment concerns rooted in adoption or caregiving histories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness practices first, then adding ACT or attachment-focused exercises based on progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy is more consistent. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, ACT, and attachment exercises to remote sessions to keep the focus practical and doable.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
