About Mindy
Dr. Mindy Siegert-Horgeshimer brings 17 years of professional experience as a licensed counselor practicing in Minnesota and Indiana.
Background and approach
She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and has worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and challenges related to LGBT identities. Mindy emphasizes building a collaborative space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions openly and without judgment.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance to match interventions to each person's goals. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, questions about life purpose, midlife transitions, sexuality, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues, and workplace concerns.
Mindy frames therapy as a courageous step toward greater satisfaction and offers steady support as clients try new ways of coping and living. Available to English-speaking clients and accepting international referrals, she works via a range of online formats to provide flexible access.
Prospective clients are invited to begin the intake process and schedule sessions according to her availability.
Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients develop practical skills for day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Both approaches are adaptable to online formats and can be practiced through exercises, homework, and in-session skill coaching.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, set goals, and try strategies that fit preferences and circumstances. Over time they adjust methods based on what is most helpful, combining client-centered listening with targeted techniques as needed.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow appointments to fit busy schedules, provide continuity when travel or distance is a factor, and let clients engage in ways that feel most comfortable while working toward their goals.
