About Lindsay
Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a licensed counselor based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds the LPC and LMHC credentials and combines counseling with a coaching mindset to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns.
She also draws on life experience with anxiety to connect with people who feel overwhelmed and stuck. Her background includes roles as a crisis intervention specialist, research analyst, addictions specialist, and independent practice clinician.
Background and approach
She completed a Doctor of Education in counseling and has worked hands-on with assessment and treatment across a range of problems. That mix of clinical and practical experience shapes how she plans sessions and sets goals. In sessions she aims to make therapy down-to-earth and usable.
She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she builds trust and explores relationships and parenting stress. She often incorporates coaching elements and lifestyle strategies such as nutrition and herbal approaches when appropriate.
Those ideas are offered as options rather than requirements, and they are discussed alongside standard counseling techniques. Her work also addresses burnout, compassion fatigue, career shifts, and the emotional effects of chronic illness. People who prefer a collaborative, practical approach tend to fit well with her style.
Sessions focus on small, realistic steps, clearer thinking, and skills people can use between meetings to manage mood, sleep, and day-to-day parenting demands.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking committed actions toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, stress, and parenting struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that worsen mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships and early experiences affect current bonds and parenting responses, helping people understand and shift interaction patterns that cause stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss these methods and adapt them to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed, live chat can support brief coaching-style exchanges, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for parents juggling schedules and for people who travel or live outside the therapist’s region.
