Work with Lindsey Vining (MSW, LCSW) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

About Me

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW), Sociologist, and Life Coach with over 15 years experience providing therapeutic services to adults, adolescents and children. I have worked with individuals in a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health, and medical clinics. I have worked with persons who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health issues and homelessness, among others.

My therapy style is motivating and supportive, but direct, while using humor and optimism to develop an effective therapeutic rapport and bring about change. My theoretical orientations primarily used are person-centered and cognitive-behavioral. My approach combines Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have a commitment to quality and compassionate mental health services. I pride myself on being non-biased and non-judgemental.

It takes incredible courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I ALWAYS make every effort to accommodate your schedule and/or time zone. If my current availability does not work with your schedule, please message me directly. I'm happy to try my best to make specific accommodations for you!

Please note that I diligently check your messages daily, other than Wednesdays and Sundays, as these days are reserved for family and worship. I look forward to working with you!

Written by K.I. on Jul 01, 2022 after therapy with Lindsey for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and parenting issues

Lindsey is very approachable and considerate. This is my first ever therapy experience and I appreciate her guidance when I don't really know how to approach my emotions and issues. Lindsey has given me tangible tools in the form of questionnaires, guidelines, etc. to help me process issues after our scheduled video chats have ended and does a great job of circling back on issues in follow up sessions. She is very no-nonsense when I am struggling to justify my behavior or concerns and wildly supportive when I take steps to address situations that are not serving me. I am so grateful to have her in my corner in this season of life as I explore new ways to grow and heal.

Lindsey has been fantastic! Gave me some really powerful tools during our first call that I've been using ever since to bring peace, focus and comfort in dealing with the issue I brought to her for help. She's been great about following up and has been very supportive. Would highly recommend anyone work with Lindsey.

Work with me!
