Dr. Lindsay Ghannam

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting strain, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career doubts, and life changes, among other issues. She also lists coaching and support around compassion fatigue and ADHD.

She frames her work around practical conversation and problem-focused strategies rather than jargon. Sessions typically include talking through current struggles, identifying patterns that get in the way, and trying out different approaches to see what helps. Her background combines counseling, crisis intervention, addiction work, and private practice experience.

Dr. Ghannam draws on several therapy approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered work, and elements of Existential therapy. She uses these methods to help people examine values, adjust unhelpful behaviors, and improve important relationships.

Her training and past roles include work as a crisis intervention specialist and addictions specialist, plus research and clinical practice. She holds a Doctor of Education in Counseling and a Master of Arts, and she notes personal experience with anxiety as part of what informs her perspective.

Outside of clinical work she teaches about natural approaches to managing anxiety, such as herbalism and nutrition, and she balances professional life with family time and hobbies like making tea and cooking.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck about work, relationships, or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests new ways of behaving to reduce worry and improve sleep or mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can be useful for relationship or parenting concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to identify which methods match their goals and preferences. This is a joint process that can shift as the client learns what helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. Some formats also make it simpler to connect when bandwidth is limited or to use audio-only conversations rather than video. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday routines without promising a particular outcome.
