About Mindy

Mindy Lane is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee who brings eight years of professional experience to her work with people facing a wide range of challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-focused stance that recognizes each client as the expert in their own life, and she draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy alongside trauma-informed tools to address concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. Her approach blends structured skill-building with an empathic, client-centered orientation.

Mindy uses techniques from CBT and DBT to help clients shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping strategies, and she incorporates trauma work when needed, including EMDR-informed concepts for processing past events. She also supports people navigating identity and relationship questions, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, as well as issues related to adoption and foster care.

Mindy frames the therapeutic process as a partnership focused on practical change and increased self-understanding. She encourages people who are ready to make a change to take the first step, and she works to create a collaborative plan that aligns with each person’s goals and life circumstances.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

Mindy often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals to shape the direction of work. When trauma is a central concern, elements of EMDR-informed practice can be incorporated to support processing of distressing memories and their emotional impact.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, preferences, and goals, and may combine techniques from different models over time to respond to progress and emerging concerns.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life changes. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver ongoing skill-building, reflective conversations, and tailored interventions while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
