Lindsey Vining, LCSW

Lindsey Vining is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, anger, career changes, and related challenges. Sessions are practical and direct, aimed at helping people change habits that cause repeated conflict or frustration.

Lindsey has worked in many settings including inpatient and outpatient care, crisis and emergency shelters, community mental health, and medical clinics. That background means she has experience supporting people after major life events like loss, housing instability, or interpersonal harm. She also has experience with attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress.

Her approach blends well-known behavior-focused methods with person-centered listening. Lindsey uses cognitive behavioral strategies alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when helpful. She also draws on Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas to guide conversations about relationships and intimacy.

In sessions she keeps a motivating, direct style and uses optimism and occasional humor to help clients make changes. Lindsey emphasizes practical steps and clear goals rather than long abstract discussion. She aims to work collaboratively to reduce reactive anger, improve communication, and build healthier coping skills.

People who want straightforward, skill-oriented help with temper, persistent resentment, workplace frustration, or repeated conflict often find this practical focus useful. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.
