About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Illinois with 22 years of clinical experience. She draws on long-term practice to guide people through depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to ADHD and impulsivity.
Background and approach
Her work also addresses concerns such as addictions, bipolar symptoms, social anxiety and phobia, and questions around life purpose and identity. Her therapeutic stance emphasizes compassion and collaboration, offering a space for clients to explore challenges and build practical coping skills.
Lindsey integrates evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment work, and elements of dialectical skills to help clients manage intense emotions and change unhelpful behavior patterns. She also uses emotionally-focused and client-centered practices to support deeper understanding of relational and personal patterns.
Clients seeking an affirming, progressive environment will find a clinician who prioritizes respect, empathy, and individualized care. Lindsey works with each person to clarify goals, strengthen resilience, and develop strategies that fit daily life, drawing on her experience to tailor treatment to the concerns and preferences presented.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lindsey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify personal values and take committed actions even when difficult emotions arise. ACT can be useful for those wrestling with anxiety, depression, or life-purpose questions by focusing on meaningful goals rather than symptom elimination alone.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsivity by teaching skills for changing thinking and routine responses.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Lindsey partners with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods over time so therapy fits each person’s situation and pace.
Online therapy with Lindsey is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling around work and life demands, allow follow-up between sessions when useful, and make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without geographic barriers.
