About Lyndsey
Lyndsey Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 11 years of clinical experience. She uses a direct but warm style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship strain. Lyndsey talks plainly and works with clients to set clear goals and practical next steps.
She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce distress.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques help people manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Lyndsey also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to support people who want to change habits, address addictions, or shift career and parenting challenges. She has supported people with ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, bipolar disorder, and those recovering from emotional or physical trauma.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She asks questions, offers feedback, and challenges thinking when needed. Sessions aim to build skills that can be used between meetings, such as emotion regulation, communication tools, and problem-solving steps.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative plan that targets their immediate worries and longer-term goals. Lyndsey emphasizes respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She encourages small, steady changes rather than sudden perfection.

Using evidence-based skills in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and values. In sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects understanding, and helps people name what matters most so goals are clear. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Lyndsey uses CBT to help people try concrete experiments and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. It works well for goal-oriented work like improving sleep, reducing avoidance, or managing stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for strong emotions and impulsive behavior. Skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication can make daily life more manageable for people who feel easily overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lyndsey will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She will collaborate with you to combine methods and create a plan that fits your needs rather than using one fixed method.
Online sessions give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls approximate face-to-face meetings, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between appointments. These formats make it easier to practice skills, follow up after a session, and maintain momentum without long commutes.
