About Mindy
Mindy Lane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings eight years of practice in Tennessee to her clients. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the effects of trauma. Mindy centers care on each person’s strengths and experience rather than treating them as a set of symptoms.
Mindy uses simple, practical methods while keeping sessions grounded and direct. She helps people build clearer coping strategies for life changes, addiction concerns, and mood regulation.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice, thinking about unhelpful patterns, and real-life problem solving. Her approach is collaborative. She encourages people to name goals and choose steps that feel realistic.
That means short-term tools for calming strong emotions and longer-term plans for shifting patterns that no longer serve them. Mindy has worked with issues around identity and sexuality, including LGBT and gender dysphoria matters, as well as adoption and parenting stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, and struggles with self-worth.
Practical matters are part of the work. Mindy uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. This mix is chosen to match what each person needs rather than following a single model.
Starting therapy is often the hardest part, and she aims to make that step feel manageable. Mindy invites people to begin with a short questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their life.

Approach and access in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them build on what already works. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide options for different needs. Video lets people see facial cues during sessions; phone calls work well when a simpler check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or homework support easier between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different life routines.
