About Lindsay
Lindsay Metli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience practicing in Utah and Wyoming. She focuses on problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, and stress. Lindsay also lists family of origin concerns among her areas of focus and works with attachment and abandonment issues when they affect current life patterns.
She frames therapy around practical goals clients can recognize and measure. Sessions tend to include talk, problem solving, and skills practice. Lindsay uses evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR where appropriate. She describes her approach as looking at a person as a whole and matching methods to what the person needs.
Her background includes work across community mental health, private practice, and psychiatric hospitals. Earlier roles involved child welfare advocacy, running therapy groups at a women's halfway house, and teaching life skills in a prison mental health unit. Those experiences shaped her interest in trauma, recovery, and supporting people through life changes.
Practical concerns she often addresses include parenting stress, caregiver strain, blended family issues, communication problems, and coping after separation or loss. She also lists work with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas. Sessions aim to help people notice the patterns that trace back to family and then practice different ways of responding.
Lindsay lives with a blended family that includes a toddler and two teenage step-children. That lived experience informs her perspective on juggling household responsibilities and coping when a partner is deployed or away.
How Lindsay’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person's concerns, helping them set personal goals and make practical changes. It is useful for relationship patterns and family-of-origin issues where understanding what matters to the client guides the work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete strategies to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress, and often includes home practice and skill rehearsal between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing distressing memories and strong emotional reactions. When used, sessions may involve recalling difficult experiences while tracking guided input to reduce the intensity of those memories.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss methods, try techniques that suit the client's goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep using.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography did not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, a session without needing travel time, or options that reduce time away from family or work. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistent care while juggling daily responsibilities.
