About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed counselor with 15 years of clinical experience who blends practical therapeutic methods with a holistic outlook.

Background and approach

Holding LPC and LMHC credentials, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as acceptance and attachment-informed approaches to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. Her background includes work in crisis intervention, addiction support, and independent practice, which informs a pragmatic, skills-based style focused on measurable change.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, guiding clients toward clearer coping strategies and healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. She integrates coaching elements and lifestyle considerations such as nutrition and body-mind practices when clients want that kind of support, and she brings lived experience with anxiety to her therapeutic presence.

Based in Florida, she offers services in English and accepts international clients, adapting format and pace to client needs while maintaining a warm, goal-oriented therapeutic relationship.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful life directions, which can help with stress, motivation, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. Clients can expect a blend of structured skill-building, reflective exploration, and personalized planning rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting people fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity from different locations. These formats support working on thought patterns, behavior experiments, values clarification, and coping skills in ways that align with modern daily life while enabling consistent access to licensed professionals and ongoing therapeutic momentum.
