About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She combines clinical training with a holistic outlook and practical coaching to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. She also brings personal experience with anxiety to her work and aims to help people find clearer, calmer ways to live.

Her style is warm and service-focused. She uses a mix of talking, practical exercises, and lifestyle suggestions like nutrition and herbal ideas when appropriate. Sessions tend to be collaborative; she listens first and then helps set small, manageable goals people can try between visits.

Dr. Ghannam draws on a range of therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and existential ideas. These inform how she addresses issues such as trauma, grief, ADHD, caregiver stress, and relationship or communication problems. She also works with concerns around aging, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and more.

People who do best with her approach are those who want both clinical guidance and practical life changes. She commonly supports parents, caregivers, and professionals coping with compassion fatigue and career transitions. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

If someone is ready to try therapy, the typical first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the Start Therapy process.

Step 3

How her approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take values-based actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and introduces practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns that feed depression or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns rooted in early connections and can help with communication, trust, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen, discuss goals, and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and can change as the client learns what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments feel more manageable. Licensed professionals can use talk therapy and practical exercises in remote sessions much as they would in person, and together they can adapt homework and tools to everyday life.
