About Lindsay
Lindsay DeMarlie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa with ten years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, addiction, and issues around identity including LGBT-related matters. Lindsay also addresses challenges like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, parenting strain, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She approaches sessions in a client-centered way and uses practical skills-focused methods. Lindsay draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas often appear in her work to help people notice what matters and respond more effectively.
Her background includes extensive work with trauma from childhood and adulthood, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and adult sexual assault or domestic violence. That experience informs how she helps people manage triggers, process painful memories, and build safety in daily routines. She also brings experience addressing addictions and substance use concerns alongside mental health symptoms.
In sessions, Lindsay helps people set clear goals and pick achievable steps. She favors practical tools - thought records, grounding exercises, skills practice, and behavioral experiments - that can be used between meetings. Her style is straightforward and focused on daily life problems like sleep, work stress, parenting demands, and relationships.

BHow sessions work
How Lindsay blends practical therapies for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions, even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and chronic patterns that get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises like thought records and behavioral experiments. CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and mood difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for emotional dysregulation and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsay treats deciding the method as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps most in practice.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, or avoiding camera use when preferred. These practical benefits help people keep regular sessions and apply skills between meetings without promising specific session modes.
