About Lindsay
Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor based in Florida with 15 years of experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and draws on a variety of therapeutic ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and life transitions.
Her background includes work as a crisis intervention specialist, addictions specialist, research analyst, and practice as a counselor. Lindsay also holds an Ed.D. and an M.A., and she has training as a body-mind coach and a domestic violence counselor.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped the way she approaches common struggles like grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. In the therapy room she uses clear, relatable techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered ways of relating. Sessions focus on small, doable steps - changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and clarifying values that matter most.
She often supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship problems, career transitions, ADHD concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness or adoption and foster-care histories. Her work also addresses self-esteem, body image, and communication problems. Outside clinical work she shares ideas about natural remedies and lifestyle strategies to reduce anxiety, including nutrition and herbal approaches.
She balances professional life with family time and simple daily rituals like making tea and cooking healthy meals.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses simple exercises to clarify values and build actions that align with them. It helps when anxiety, stress, or avoidance keep someone from living how they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical homework and short experiments. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and many day-to-day challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat work for quick questions and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping a steady course of care.
