About Lyndsey
Lyndsey Richards is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience. She offers straightforward, respectful care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and interactive while also direct when needed.
She listens closely and then gently challenges unhelpful thoughts so clients can try different ways of coping. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit a person's day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral skills, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That blend helps with mood shifts, problems with attention, and patterns that keep coming up in relationships and work. Lyndsey adapts her focus to the issue someone brings in each session.
Clients who have experienced trauma, emotional abuse, or attachment wounds can expect careful pacing and clear goals. She also supports people navigating divorce, blended family questions, intimacy concerns, and career transitions. Conversations often move between emotional insight and concrete skill-building.
Lyndsey has supervised other counselors and brings that practical experience to her work. She aims to treat people with respect and without stigmatizing labels. If someone is ready to try new strategies, she helps them plan doable steps toward feeling more stable and in control.
Practical therapy tools delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship so clients feel understood and can set their own goals. It helps when someone wants empathy and guidance rather than a rigid plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with relationship strain and anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lyndsey will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those goals. She adjusts pace and tools over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and homework support easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility for scheduling, consistent follow-up, and steady progress without needing to travel.
