About Lindsay
Clients often come for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, grief, or help coping with big life transitions. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career shifts, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Dr. Ghannam blends several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs.
In sessions she draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and make workable changes. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered work shape how she listens and responds. She aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow rather than full of jargon.
Her background includes roles in crisis intervention, addiction support, research, and private practice. That variety informs how she plans treatment and sets realistic goals. She also brings personal experience with anxiety, which she says helps her empathize with people under stress.
Outside of clinical work she focuses on natural approaches to wellbeing, like nutrition and herbalism, and balances work with family life. Readers should confirm current session options before booking to be sure they fit their needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current bonds and communication, and it can help people improve trust and emotional safety in close relationships.Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill-building, moving into values work, or focusing on relationship patterns depending on what the client wants to address.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. When online sessions are arranged, they can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut commute time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can support the same kinds of change as in-person therapy by using exercises, homework, and focused conversations adapted for remote meetings.
