About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, and anger. Lindsey also addresses issues related to parenting, LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, and family stress.
Her practice focuses on practical coping skills and clearer thinking. Lindsey helps people identify patterns that lead to impulsive reactions and high frustration. She talks through concrete strategies for reducing workplace tension and handling social anxiety.
Lindsey uses several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-influenced approaches. Sessions often include behavioral experiments, noticing thought patterns, and learning short skills to pause before reacting. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She pays attention to life transitions and the pressures that come with them. That can mean sorting priorities, setting boundaries, or adjusting expectations when parenting or managing a demanding job. Lindsey also supports people dealing with codependency, control issues, and impulsivity.
Her work includes attention to identity and diversity concerns, and she describes her practice as affirming and progressive for LGBT clients. People can expect a collaborative process that focuses on practical next steps and clearer day-to-day strategies.
How sessions work
How Lindsey Uses ACT, CBT and EFT Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with what matters most. It can help when anger or frustration gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and impulsive reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong feelings so responses become clearer rather than automatic.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Lindsey will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust what is used as needs become clearer. The work is practical: learning skills, practicing them between sessions, and checking what helps.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to therapy for review.
