About Lyndsey
Lyndsey Richards is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience. She offers a warm, straightforward style and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Her approach is practical and focused on real-life change.
Lyndsey mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses dialectical behavior tools and motivational interviewing to help people shift thinking and build clearer patterns of behavior. Sessions are interactive and aimed at practical skills you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She has worked with many concerns including ADHD, autism spectrum questions, trauma, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with body image, intimacy-related issues, codependency, and divorce or separation. Lyndsey adapts her approach to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her style is direct but compassionate. She will challenge unhelpful beliefs while treating clients with respect and sensitivity. That balance helps people move from feeling stuck to taking actionable steps.
Lyndsey also brings experience as a supervisor, which informs how she organizes treatment plans and tracks progress. She works in English and practices across a range of life stages and transitions. If someone is ready to change, she helps set clear goals and supports them through the process.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where someone is coming from. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what the person shares so goals arise from the client's own values and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to make sense of parenting stress, relationship worries, or life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. It teaches concrete strategies for noticing unhelpful thinking and testing different actions. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, confidence issues, and building actionable parenting skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lyndsey will collaborate to choose or blend methods based on an individual's goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. That means plans are adjusted over time rather than fixed at the first session.
Online sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and other life demands.
