About Seleena

Seleena Lindsey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends practical therapy methods with a warm, straightforward style. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues around self-esteem and parenting. Sessions are down-to-earth and aim to help clients move toward clearer values and steady routines.

She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices to create a plan that fits each person.

Background and approach

Seleena mixes in client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to keep sessions focused and useful. The work often includes identifying what matters most and building small, realistic steps toward those goals. Her background spans eight years of clinical practice in Pennsylvania as an LPC, PA LPC PC009748.

That experience informs how she helps people with anger, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, panic, and communication challenges. In sessions, Seleena uses simple tools to change unhelpful patterns.

She helps people notice thoughts, test them, and try new actions. Parents and caregivers may find practical strategies for setting boundaries, managing overwhelm, and improving daily routines. Overall the approach is collaborative and paced to each person.

Therapy focuses on small, sustainable changes that add up over time. The goal is clearer priorities, better coping, and more reliable movement toward hope.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where clarity of purpose helps guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often includes simple homework and real-world practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Seleena will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and adjusts the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions provide a less formal option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent, try tools between sessions, and build steady routines without extra travel.

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.
