About Lindsay

Lindsay Scheinerman is a licensed professional counselor who helps people and families handle conflict, stress, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps that reduce anxiety, address addiction and trauma, and support healthier relationships and parenting. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented so parents can see what to try next.

Lindsay is based in Missouri and has 13 years of clinical experience as an LPC. Lindsay offers a calm, solution-minded style in sessions.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters most to each person or family. Then she builds on existing strengths and suggests small, doable changes. Sessions often center on communication skills, coping tools for stress, and clearer ways to set boundaries at home or work.

She uses proven techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Solution-focused work keeps conversations practical and forward-moving so families can try new strategies quickly.

Lindsay has worked with adults, families, and youth across many issues including parenting, relationship conflict, divorce and separation, workplace problems, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses trauma, addictions, and challenges that come with life transitions. In sessions she explains ideas plainly and helps clients pick actions they can test between meetings.

The emphasis is on realistic steps that fit family life, not on abstract theory. For parents juggling schedules, she offers multiple session formats to make therapy easier to manage.

Practical therapies that translate well to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, and many common parenting and relationship challenges. Motivational interviewing helps people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring values and gentle reasons to try a new path; it can be helpful around addictions, lifestyle shifts, and parenting decisions. Solution-focused therapy keeps work short-term and action-oriented by identifying small, specific goals and what to do next to reach them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person or family about goals and preferences and then recommend one or a blend of methods. This is done together so plans match what will actually fit into daily family life.

Online sessions make it easier to get consistent help while juggling parenting and work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions offer flexibility on busy days, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins and reminders between appointments. These options help people use therapy in ways that fit their schedule and routines.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
