Lindsay Humphrey, LMSW

Lindsay Humphrey, LMSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and the uncertainty that can come with life changes such as a midlife crisis. She emphasizes building a strong relationship so people feel heard and can make progress. Her tone is warm and practical, aimed at people who want straightforward support for everyday struggles.

She trained and practices as a licensed master social worker in Michigan and has nine years of clinical experience. Lindsay began counseling in outpatient settings in 2015 and later added online work. Before becoming a therapist she spent seven years as a case manager supporting older adults, people with disabilities, and veterans, which shaped her understanding of long-term caregiving and chronic health challenges.

In sessions she uses a collaborative, interactive style. Lindsay leans on client-centered methods to center each person’s goals and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also teaches simple mindfulness and relaxation exercises to help manage tension and mood shifts.

She has worked with people who mention relationship strain, family stress, caregiver burnout, chronic illness, grief, and isolation. Lindsay aims to create a clear plan with each person and to adapt that plan as goals change. Her approach is practical and steady - focused on small, useful steps that fit day-to-day life.

To start, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist scheduling.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps clarify goals, and adjusts the work to what matters most. This approach is helpful for people who want a respectful, collaborative space to sort things out.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change mood and stress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions like a midlife crisis.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises for paying attention in the moment and easing strong reactions. These tools can reduce tension, support mood regulation, and make daily stressors feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation that can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering an option when in-person attendance is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and consistent with everyday schedules.
