About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and works from Florida.

Her background blends counseling training with coaching work aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and practical. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice patterns and make changes.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationships and family dynamics. She keeps explanations clear and uses everyday language so busy parents can follow along. In sessions she focuses on skills and small steps.

That might mean setting simple behavior experiments, learning ways to manage difficult thoughts, or practicing communication skills. She also brings in coaching techniques when clients want goal-focused support for career, self-esteem, or coping with caregiving demands. Her background includes work in crisis intervention, addiction settings, and independent practice.

She also has training in domestic violence support and body-mind coaching. These experiences inform her practical ways of working with grief, trauma, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Outside of clinical work she emphasizes holistic wellness like nutrition and herbal approaches, and she balances professional life with family time.

Parents who prefer a counselor who combines talk therapy, coaching, and life-oriented strategies may find her style a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up in current relationships and can help with communication and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Sessions may mix techniques from different approaches so the plan stays practical and responsive to what a client needs in the moment.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let parents and busy adults fit sessions into tight schedules and continue care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, run brief exercises, review homework, and check progress between sessions, making therapy easier to maintain over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
