About Lindsey

Lindsey Khan is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people navigate emotional challenges and life transitions. She focuses on practical strategies to address stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related impulsivity, and substance-related concerns while also attending to relationship and identity issues.

Background and approach

Drawing on a range of evidence-informed approaches, she supports clients seeking clearer life purpose, improved coping in the workplace, and relief from social anxiety or persistent mood shifts. Her style blends compassion with collaboration, inviting clients to explore their experiences in a respectful, nonjudgmental setting.

Lindsey emphasizes building skills and insight through therapies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-informed methods, while also using emotionally-focused and acceptance-based work when helpful. She aims to help people develop resilience, clearer priorities, and healthier ways of responding to stressors.

Lindsey provides services in Illinois and conducts sessions in English.

Approach-focused online therapy that fits your needs

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing impulsivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and increasing psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action, which can support work on life purpose and chronic emotional pain. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses to improve relationships and self-awareness, and it can be helpful when interpersonal or identity issues are central.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsey works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, adapting methods from CBT, ACT, or emotionally-focused work to fit individual needs rather than following a single rigid model.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can access care around work and family schedules. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work on skills, values, and emotional awareness from locations within Illinois, and they allow sessions to be scheduled in ways that support sustained progress and real-world application.
