About Lindsay
Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed counselor and mental health professional based in Florida. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a background that includes crisis work, addiction support, research, and independent practice.
Lindsay uses a holistic outlook and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She favors straightforward conversations and clear steps clients can use between sessions. Lindsay often blends evidence-based techniques with approaches that consider meaning, values, and relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions typically focus on coping strategies for sleep problems, compassion fatigue, career stress, and symptoms of depression or anxiety. Her work also addresses parenting concerns, relationship and communication problems, and long-term patterns like attachment struggles or avoidant tendencies. Lindsay draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts, move toward valued goals, and change unhelpful behavior.
Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas shape how she builds trusting relationships in sessions. People who prefer a calm, reflective style may find her approach helpful. Lindsay talks through practical steps for day-to-day challenges and helps clients develop concrete habits.
Her experience as a counselor and coach informs a flexible mix of short-term problem solving and deeper exploration. Outside of clinical work she shares ideas about natural approaches to wellbeing, enjoys making tea, and values time with her three children. She conducts therapy in English and accepts international clients who wish to work with her.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by encouraging committed steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood, or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions; it can be useful for communication trouble, attachment issues, and family-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches so practical skills and deeper understanding move forward together.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do deeper conversational work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to keep continuity in care and to fit sessions into busy lives.
