Lindsay Humphrey

Lindsay Humphrey is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with nine years of direct counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, grief, compassion fatigue, and concerns about life purpose. Her caseload has also included relationship and family problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and midlife or young adult transitions.

She began counseling in outpatient settings in 2015 and later added online work. Before becoming a therapist she spent seven years as a case manager supporting older adults, people with disabilities, and veterans. That background informs how she thinks about practical challenges like caregiving, aging, and chronic health issues.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She describes therapy as a partnership where the client and therapist set goals together. Sessions often include listening, reflection, and hands-on strategies to manage symptoms and problem-solve around real-life stressors.

Clinically she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness exercises. Those tools are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice calming skills between sessions.

People who choose her can expect clear discussion of goals and an interactive plan that connects therapy to daily life. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching steps to schedule a first session and talk about immediate needs.

How her approaches come through in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s own priorities. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the client and work outward from there to set goals and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple experiments and exercises to test new ways of thinking and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness therapy includes short, practical exercises to calm the body and steady attention. These tools are often used between sessions to reduce stress and improve focus on daily tasks.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can be part of the first few sessions as goals are clarified and a working plan is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be added to a day without large disruptions.
