Lindsey Vining, LCSW

Lindsey Vining, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and the upheaval that can come in midlife. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, body image struggles, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Lindsey writes in a direct, upbeat way and uses practicality to guide sessions toward real steps forward.

She brings 15 years of experience across inpatient and outpatient care, crisis and emergency shelters, community mental health, and medical clinics. That background means she has worked with people who have survived domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health episodes, and homelessness. Lindsey aims to meet clients where they are and build plans that fit their lives.

Her style is motivating and supportive while remaining direct. She uses humor and optimism to build rapport and keep momentum. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes rather than long lists of abstract ideas.

Lindsey draws on person-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas and blends solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing. She will tailor each plan to a client’s unique needs and preferences. Lindsey emphasizes nonjudgmental care and practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

She accommodates different schedules and time zones when possible and checks messages most days. If a particular schedule is needed, she asks prospective clients to message her about accommodations. Lindsey is identified by the pronouns she/her/hers and practices in Mississippi.

How Lindsey’s approaches can fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and then identify values-based actions to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and when someone wants clearer direction during midlife changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at connection and trust issues and can help people understand repeated relationship struggles or abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one path from the start.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available formats before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when life gets hectic. Some formats may be shorter or better for lower-bandwidth connections, while others work well when a deeper conversation is needed. Discuss practical options and scheduling needs with Lindsey to find the best fit.
