About Lindsey

Lindsey Hoffman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses mindfulness-based approaches in her work. She aims to make people feel heard and supported from the first contact. Lindsey writes plainly and listens closely to help clients figure out what matters most to them.

She has four years of social work experience and has spent much of that time helping people with postpartum mood concerns, parenting struggles, family conflict, and big life transitions. Lindsey also has experience with clients from diverse backgrounds, including people connected to the military and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She focuses on identifying strengths and practical steps clients can take between sessions.

In sessions Lindsey draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice what’s happening in the moment. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and EMDR approaches for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals and track progress.

Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She aims to be caring, authentic, and friendly while keeping work focused on achievable goals. Lindsey partners with each person to create a plan that fits their needs and day-to-day life.

People who work with her can expect a blend of breath-based and awareness practices, practical skill building for stress and anxiety, and step-by-step planning for parenting or life changes. Lindsey welcomes questions and encourages prospective clients to consider whether her way of working would be a good fit before scheduling.

How Lindsey blends approaches for online work

Mindfulness Therapy helps people build awareness of their thoughts, breath, and body sensations to reduce reactivity and manage stress. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and moments of overwhelm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is involved.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will work together with each client to choose methods that match goals and comfort level. She checks in about what is helpful and adjusts exercises or pacing based on feedback and progress.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice breathing or grounding techniques in the moments they arise. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice between meetings so therapy feels applicable to everyday life.
