About Lindsay
Lindsay Metli is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people regain balance. She works with adults on practical goals that improve daily life. Lindsay aims to make hard conversations feel straightforward and manageable.
She draws on a whole-person view, looking at how thoughts, bodies, and life circumstances connect. That approach helps when someone faces anxiety, depression, trauma, or overwhelming stress. Lindsay often uses skills-based tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes community mental health, independent practice, and psychiatric hospital work. She also spent time in child welfare and led groups at a women’s halfway house and in a correctional setting. Those roles shaped her interest in trauma, addictions, and recovery-oriented care.
Lindsay uses several evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered work. She adapts interventions to each person’s goals rather than following a single manual. Sessions focus on what the person needs now and what small steps they can take next.
People juggling parenting, caregiving, or a demanding job will find a practitioner familiar with both practical strain and emotional burnout. Lindsay understands blended family dynamics and caregiving stress from her own household experience. She offers straightforward support to help people change patterns and respond differently in difficult moments.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring sessions to the person’s needs. It helps people feel heard and guides therapists to follow the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. Together they may blend skills practice, mindfulness exercises, or trauma-focused methods depending on what helps most.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and teaching skills visually. Phone sessions can be a good choice when internet bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, and keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other demands.
