Lindsay Humphrey, LMSW

Lindsay Humphrey is a Michigan-licensed clinical social worker who brings nearly a decade of counseling experience to her practice. She began providing outpatient counseling in 2015 and has since expanded to include online work, supporting people across the life span from children to older adults in both rural and urban settings. Her caseload has included concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, chronic illness, and grief and loss, reflecting a broad and adaptable practice.

Before becoming a therapist, Lindsay spent seven years as a case manager working with older adults, people with disabilities, and veterans - experience that informs her compassionate, practical approach to care. She works from a collaborative stance, viewing therapy as a partnership in which understanding and active engagement are essential to progress. Lindsay uses client-centered methods focused on the individual’s strengths, cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thought and behavior, and mindfulness and relaxation exercises to support stress management.

Together with each person she sees, Lindsay develops a tailored treatment plan that responds to their goals and life circumstances. She welcomes the opportunity to support people as they navigate transitions, cope with loss, or build healthier ways of living and relating.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lindsay draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, strength-focused environment where the person’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach is useful for life changes, building self-esteem, and improving relationships. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy is woven into sessions as well, offering practical exercises to reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lindsay works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and pacing so therapy feels purposeful and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt their techniques effectively through these formats to support progress and practical problem solving.
