About Lindsey

Lindsey Maurer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She draws on 13 years of experience to offer practical support for everyday struggles. Lindsey writes and speaks plainly to help parents and caregivers navigate hard moments.

Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping people find useful steps they can actually try between sessions. She trained in psychology and counseling in Ohio, earning a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from John Carroll University.

Background and approach

She also studied at Bowling Green State University and a local community college near Cleveland. Lindsey has worked in both independent practice and college settings, which shaped her approach to common challenges like career shifts and parenting stress. In sessions she blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness and client-centered work.

That mix helps clients change unhelpful thinking, clarify values, and build small habits that change daily life. Lindsey explains tools clearly and practices them with clients during appointments. She pays attention to issues that often show up for caregivers such as compassion fatigue, codependency, and attachment concerns.

Lindsey also supports people facing fertility and pregnancy-related stress, grief, and relationship conflicts. Her aim is to turn overwhelming problems into manageable next steps. People who meet with her can expect straightforward guidance, practical homework, and a focus on what is most important to them.

Lindsey keeps the pace responsive to each person and adjusts methods as needs evolve.

Online approaches that meet families where they are

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take action even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it focuses on small meaningful steps rather than eliminating feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical ways to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday problems.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try tools in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to build routines and skills that match each person’s life and values.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy caregivers and working parents. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, while phone, live chat, and text sessions allow shorter check-ins and follow-ups. These options make it possible to continue regular work during busy weeks and to practice tools between appointments.

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.
