About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with 22 years of experience helping people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She focuses on practical ways to cope with everyday pressures and to clarify what matters most in life. Lindsey approaches therapy with warmth and a clear, collaborative style that aims to make space for honest conversation.
Her work often centers on parenting challenges and family-related strain, as well as ADHD, impulsivity, and workplace stress. She also supports clients dealing with addictions, bipolar symptoms, and social anxiety. Lindsey pays attention to life transitions and the small practical shifts that can reduce overwhelm.
Therapy sessions are grounded in approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, notice what matters to them, and learn skills for emotion regulation. Lindsey blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and emotion-focused work to meet people where they are. She invites clients to set concrete goals and to try tools between sessions.
Her style is compassionate and collaborative rather than prescriptive. She listens for each person’s priorities and adapts the pace to their needs. Lindsey aims to create an affirming space for diverse identities and perspectives.
Clients who choose Lindsey typically want clear, usable strategies alongside space to make sense of difficult emotions. People often leave with a better understanding of patterns holding them back and a set of steps to practice in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for stress, low motivation, and life purpose concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. It is practical for social anxiety and everyday mood challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and naming emotions to improve how people respond to strong feelings and relational strain.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lindsey will work with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor session content and homework to what feels doable and meaningful.
