About Lindsey

Lindsey Vining is an LCSW (Licensed Certified Social Worker) with 15 years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and family issues, and parenting challenges. Lindsey also addresses attachment-related problems, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and issues around intimacy and body image.

She has practiced in inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelters, community mental health programs, and medical clinics. That variety shaped a hands-on style that is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings.

Lindsey blends person-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when helpful. The work is focused on identifying patterns that began in childhood and seeing how they play out now, especially for people concerned about family of origin influences.

Expect conversations that look at thinking patterns, emotional reactions, and everyday behavior. Lindsey talks through coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to manage intense emotions. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people try small, concrete changes.

Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful. Lindsey works collaboratively to set goals and adjusts plans as needs change. Sessions are conducted in English and she is open to international clients; confirm current session options before booking.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems tied to old family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior links and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, mood problems, and compulsive reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current expectations and closeness. It helps people who notice family of origin patterns affecting their relationships and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lindsey will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from a quieter place or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals, including therapists using ACT, CBT, and attachment work, commonly adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between sessions.
