About Lindsay

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She holds the credentials LCSW and LISW-CP and is based in South Carolina. Lindsay focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and addiction-related problems using practical, down-to-earth methods.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients identify small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear skills for coping, communication, and rediscovering purpose when life feels overwhelming. Lindsay uses evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to change unhelpful patterns and build emotional regulation skills. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward valued goals.

Clients can expect an empathetic, goal-oriented style. Lindsay pays attention to life context, such as work stress, relationship strain, sleep trouble, or substance use issues. She often focuses on practical tools that can be used between sessions.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and workplace problems. Lindsay also supports matters like body image, communication problems, codependency, and young adult transitions. She conducts sessions in English and practices from South Carolina.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach is useful when stress, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing impulsive or addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lindsay works with clients to pick and adapt methods based on individual goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. The plan can shift as needs change so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and use brief check-ins or longer conversations when helpful. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, coach through difficult moments, and support day-to-day progress.

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.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
