Lindsay Mays

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and works from a person-focused perspective. Lindsay aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, addictions, career concerns, or life changes.

Her approach centers on listening first and helping people name what matters most. Sessions often include practical skills for managing mood, sleep, and impulsivity. She uses straightforward tools to help clients cope with guilt, shame, relationship or intimacy concerns, and workplace strain.

Lindsay draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people shift habits and respond differently to difficult thoughts. She also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas to support emotional regulation and stronger communication. Existential perspectives come into play when people are weighing life purpose or meaning.

Her background includes work with addiction-related issues, body image and codependency concerns, and challenges common to young adults and women. She also supports people facing bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, focusing on day-to-day tools and clearer next steps.

Sessions are offered in English and she practices from South Carolina. Prospective clients who want to know more about session structure or cost can complete the site’s matching questionnaire to begin the scheduling process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with their values. It offers concrete exercises for taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it gives practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep, and impulse control. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting direction together as goals change.

Confirm the available session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness or behavioral exercises in the context of their daily routines. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to learn which approaches and session arrangements will best support your situation.
