About Lindsey

Lindsey Bronold is a licensed social worker in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and eating or body image concerns. She works with clients who are navigating grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and issues related to gender and identity. Lindsey approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She focuses on practical steps and steady support to help people move forward. With five years of professional experience, Lindsey adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s situation.

Background and approach

She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to make sessions useful and goal-oriented. That can mean looking at thought patterns, identifying small changes to try, or setting short-term goals to build momentum. Lindsey pays special attention to topics such as attachment, family of origin, and intimacy-related issues.

She also addresses gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and self-love work when those areas are part of a person’s story. Her style is straightforward and conversational, aimed at making change manageable. Sessions are practical and client-centered.

Lindsey helps people weigh options, experiment with new behaviors, and notice what’s working. She believes the first step toward a more satisfying life takes courage, and she offers steady support during that process. People looking for help in Michigan or from other locations can expect a collaborative approach that ties together short-term goals and longer-term growth.

Lindsey explains options clearly and adjusts plans as needs change.

How Lindsey’s approaches fit into online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions using CBT often involve identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore what matters to a person and build motivation for change. In remote sessions this approach focuses on clarifying goals, resolving mixed feelings, and finding personally meaningful next steps for issues like eating concerns or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lindsey will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest strategies drawn from these methods. The plan can change over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made together in session.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging let people choose what fits their schedule and comfort. That flexibility can make it easier to keep up with short-term goals and practice skills between meetings, while still benefiting from regular support from a licensed professional.

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.
