Lindsay was a great listener during our first session. We had an issue with video call, but we were able to quickly navigate to a phone call. She even gave me extra time to finish out our full session. She was quickly responsive to my chat messages as well. I look forward to diving deeper into specific problems in out next sessions. She really took the time to get to know me.

Lindsay has helped me see situations differently. She makes me step back and ask myself why is this happening, what can I do to change this, or how does my reaction help this situation. I love her. I tell everyone about Better Help and about Lindsay.

I like that therapy with Lindsay is like sitting down with a good friend over a cup of coffee and having a chat. She listens, asks questions, and then helps me go back through all of it, pointing out important things. It's wonderful to have someone to even just bounce my feelings off of, especially when they are confusing. I appreciate her! :)

I have only had a couple sessions with her but already I feel she is truly listening to me and asks follow up questions that strongly pertain to the subjects at hand.

I always feel comfortable talking with you and it’s extremely helpful in times where I feel alone. I can always share my thoughts and journals without feeling like I’ll get judged or turned away. Coming from family who don’t believe in talking things out and looking for help she changes your mind.

It took me a while to find the counselor that best suited my needs, and honestly, I was feeling a little discouraged after sometime. But I'm glad I never gave up my search becos Lindsay is PHENOMENAL. She's attentive, asks all the right questions, and is just such a rad person. Highly recommend her

So far we have not had a session.
But the questions and follow up from Lindsay have been amazing so far.
She has had more dialogue with me so far via email, more than I feel I have had in an entire session with others.

Lindsay is a kind, warm and thoughtful therapist. Although I only interacted with her for a couple weeks, I can feel she cares about me a lot and I am grateful.
Written on Jan 04, 2021 after therapy with Lindsay for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and coping with life changes
I have been working with Lindsay for about 3 months, I had a lot going on at the time and I was feeling very overwhelmed and stressed. Lindsay helped with working out each situation. I feel that her approach is more of the client talking and her listening and is there to guide you through the problems but does not tell you what you should and should not do. I loved BetterHelp and I know that if I needed help again I would definitely come back!

Lindsay has been amazing to work with. I love the flexibility of being able to message her whenever I need to. Then the weekly calls we have help feel like a more traditional counseling in that we have some one on one time. When I am busy and don't have time to message Lindsay always messages just to check in and make sure I am doing ok. Having been doing in person counseling for years, I really am enjoying the flexibility of an online discussion. I feel so lucky to have found Lindsay as she understands, cares and remembers all of my concerns and issues.

Amazing. Thoughtful. Involved. Gives unique and personalized advice that you can tell she takes her time with and really cares about. Don't know where I'd be without a counselor like her! Lindsay's helped me restructure the way I think about everything, work through my issues, and realize that I can actually handle the life that was handed me without falling apart. Thank you, Lindsay.

Written on Sep 12, 2019 after therapy with Lindsay for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and eating disorders
I just began using BetterHelp and I am SO impressed. I had been in therapy for years and once coming to college, I felt that I couldn't find the right therapist to meet my needs. As soon as I was matched with Lindsay, I was really excited and hopeful. She is thorough and so empathetic and I feel greatly comfortable opening up to her and being able to tackle the issues in my life. As a millennial, I would greatly recommend BetterHelp because sometimes the right therapist or counselor may not be in your area or be available at the times you need. BetterHelp is so flexible and I appreciate that it has made therapy so accessible and easy to use.

Written on May 20, 2019 after therapy with Lindsay for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating disorders, and self esteem
Lindsay has really helped me walk through some self discovery in the past few weeks. I rated her an eight out of 10 as to whether or not I would recommend her because I realize not every counselor fits every person so I braided her based on the fact that I think she’s highly strong but I don’t know if she would fit everybody that would need assistance. But for me she’s 10 out of 10.

Although I’m a difficult individual to understand, Lindsay makes great efforts in at least attempting to understand. Wether she’s able to help me is irrelevant to me. She putting forth effort and that’s all I or anyone seeking help and guidance can ask for.
