About Lindsay

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of practice to her work. She uses a calm, straightforward style to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and related concerns. Lindsay aims to create a welcoming space where people can make steady progress toward their goals.

She emphasizes mindfulness-based approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work. Sessions often focus on building skills to handle strong emotions, improving day-to-day coping, and noticing patterns that get in the way of change. Lindsay also uses elements of cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches when they fit a person's needs.

Her background includes a master's in social work and clinical licensure as an LCSW and as an LISW-CP. Those credentials guide her work in South Carolina and shape how she structures treatment plans and goals. Lindsay draws on practical strategies and simple mindfulness exercises rather than technical language.

People who reach out can expect collaborative sessions that combine listening with concrete tools. She pays attention to life changes, relationship concerns, sleep problems, and issues like self-esteem or workplace stress. The pace and focus are shaped by each person's priorities.

Lindsay values openness and steady steps forward. She invites people to talk through what matters most and to try small changes that add up over time.

How mindfulness and therapy approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them; it uses simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when emotions feel difficult, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental attitude from the therapist and puts the person's goals and pace at the center of sessions.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan together as you learn what helps. That way the work fits both your preferences and what you want to achieve.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing work around work or caregiving schedules. Therapists generally adapt mindfulness practices, skill-building, and values-based work to an online setting so people can keep making progress from wherever they join.

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.
