About Lindsey

Lindsey Khan is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois with 22 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and issues tied to ADHD and impulsivity. Lindsey writes and talks plainly in sessions so clients can get tools they can use right away.

Her work pays special attention to parenting and family-related concerns while also addressing life transitions and workplace stress.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to clarify goals and identify small, doable changes. Lindsey uses proven therapeutic methods and adapts them to each person's needs. Her style is calm and collaborative.

She creates space for people to speak openly and to try new coping strategies without judgment. Lindsey leans on active listening and practical exercises to help people reduce overwhelm and build steady routines. She also supports those exploring identity and relationship patterns, including members of LGBT communities.

Lindsey emphasizes discovering personal values and strengthening emotional skills as part of long-term change. Appointments blend conversation with concrete practice. People can expect to leave sessions with one or two clear next steps.

Lindsey balances short-term strategies with attention to deeper patterns so change feels manageable and realistic.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy lives

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, values-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms. It is often useful for stress, low mood, social anxiety, and patterns tied to impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will explore your goals, preferences, and daily realities and then recommend methods that match. The decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions using video calls, phone talks, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around school, work, or parenting. They also allow for brief check-ins and ongoing practice between meetings, which supports steady progress 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.

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.
