About Lyndsey

Lyndsey Richards is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings 11 years of clinical and supervisory experience to her work.

Background and approach

She blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with a warm, interactive style that invites clients to engage in honest exploration while also being challenged to shift unhelpful thinking and patterns. Lyndsey emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels, and she adapts each plan to the specific needs presented.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, career difficulties, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and the effects of trauma and emotional abuse.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and work with clients involved in BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Lyndsey uses cognitive-behavioral techniques along with dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, client-centered approaches, and solution-focused thinking to help clients pursue clearer goals and more effective coping.

She invites those ready to make changes to begin a collaborative process that balances challenge with support, tailoring dialogue and interventions to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

She frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotional reactions and relationship conflicts. Client-centered techniques are woven in to maintain empathy, validation, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship while planning interventions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lyndsey will collaborate with each client to clarify goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible for busy lives. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different settings, fit sessions into varied schedules, and continue therapeutic progress when in-person meetings are impractical.
