About Lindsey

Lindsey Hoffman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Hawaii with four years of practice experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, postpartum mood concerns, and major life changes. Lindsey often supports issues around grief, relationship struggles, ADHD, and self-esteem.

Her work often includes parents facing difficult transitions and people coping after childbirth. She has experience with adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and hospice or end-of-life counseling. Lindsey has also worked with members of the LGBTQ community and military families.

Lindsey uses straightforward methods in session. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when those approaches fit the concern. She also uses mindfulness techniques and solution-focused methods to help clients build practical skills and short-term goals.

In a typical session she listens for strengths and patterns, talks through current problems, and helps set clear steps forward. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, and on breaking bigger problems into manageable parts. Lindsey describes her style as honest and down-to-earth, and she aims to be nonjudgmental and approachable.

If someone wants to start, she asks about current needs and goals and then builds a plan together. Her approach centers on what is useful in everyday life and on small changes that add up over time.

BHow sessions work

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to remote work

Online sessions can use methods Lindsey practices and explain them in straightforward ways. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured sets of attention and recall. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try strategies that match the issue and adjust the plan as needed. Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and avoid travel time. They also let people use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Lindsey aims to shape sessions around practical needs so therapy can fit into everyday life.
