About Lindsey
Lindsey Khan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, anger, bipolar conditions, and LGBT-related concerns. Lindsey also addresses parenting issues, family-related stress, and young adult challenges.
Her practice centers on practical problem solving and clearer day-to-day functioning. She helps people sort priorities and identify manageable changes. Sessions often include skills to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.
Lindsey uses several therapy methods to match the situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to clarify values and take committed actions.
When emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central, she may use elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These approaches teach emotion skills, communication strategies, and ways to steady intense reactions.
People working with Lindsey can expect a collaborative process. Conversations aim to be direct and practical, with steps to try between sessions. She supports work on life purpose, impulsivity, codependency, social anxiety, and the practical impacts of autism or Asperger syndrome. The goal is clearer coping, fewer crises, and steadier daily functioning.
BHow sessions work
How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for motivation, life purpose questions, and anxiety that gets in the way of goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and low self-esteem.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools can reduce impulsivity, manage anger, and steady mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Then she and the client decide which techniques to try and how to adapt them to everyday life. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family schedules, cut travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They can also be adjusted to suit lower bandwidth or shorter breaks at work by choosing audio-only or shorter sessions if those options are supported.
