Lindsey is excellent! She is the best therapist I have worked with, and I’ve been to quite a few. Not only does she always listen when I get long winded, but she always responds appropriately and gives me great insight. She challenges me to want to improve my relationships outside of therapy and it has worked wonders for me.
More about Lindsey
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW), Sociologist, and Life Coach with over 15 years experience providing therapeutic services to adults, adolescents and children. I have worked with individuals in a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health, and medical clinics. I have worked with persons who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health issues and homelessness, among others.
My therapy style is motivating and supportive, but direct, while using humor and optimism to develop an effective therapeutic rapport and bring about change. My theoretical orientations primarily used are person-centered and cognitive-behavioral. My approach combines Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have a commitment to quality and compassionate mental health services. I pride myself on being non-biased and non-judgemental.
It takes incredible courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I ALWAYS make every effort to accommodate your schedule and/or time zone. If my current availability does not work with your schedule, please message me directly. I'm happy to try my best to make specific accommodations for you!
Please note that I diligently check your messages daily, other than Sundays. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Awesome!
Lindsey is amazing I am so thankful I found her
Love her very professional.! Definitely would recommend Ms. Lindsey
She is very awesome and good!
Lindsey is excellent! I haven’t had great luck with therapists in the past, so I thought I’d give BetterHelp a try. I was matched with Lindsey and from our first session was one of the best therapy sessions I’ve ever had. The second was even better! I will continue to use Lindsey as my therapist from her in out.
As with any good therapist, she tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
Lindsey Vining has gave me a strong emphasis on my emotional actions and how to move forward with growth. She is very professional and has reassured me every step of the way.
Lindsey is a very professional, compassionate listener. She understands my fears and has consistently nurtured my mind to overcome them with her very practical strategies. She is very good. It's a 10/10 for me. Thank you Lindsey
I was very nervous about therapy as I had done it years ago and had a bad experience but Lindsey has made me realize how good and truly therapeutic it can be. She has such a good way of listening and hearing everything I have to say before giving any suggestions or comments.
Lindsey is great! She has been the first therapist I’ve met and this experience has been wonderful.
Lindsey has been wonderful. I will miss her
I am very grateful to Lindsey for listening to my concerns and helping me work through the issues I face. They may be small or large, but no matter what, I feel safe in her capable hands.
She is doing a great job in helping me overcome some tough situations.
Lindsey has helped me through so much I don’t know what I would do without her! I have grown as a person since starting my sessions with her and genuinely look forward to talking to her about exciting or stressful moments in my life.
Lindsey Vining has been a great help she's always there for me when I need her. She's wonderful
Lindsey is great! She helped me through a difficult time and is now helping me to develop new amd better habits moving forward.
She is kind, understanding, and full of support!
Lindsey has been a huge help to me. I was in a moment of crisis and she was able to help process and establish good healthy coping schemes. She's been an excellent and treasured help in getting my life back into the direction I want it to go!
Lindsey is so sweet and easy to open up to. She feels like a trusted friend and her expertise shows. I always look forward to my sessions with her!
Lindsey is very approachable and considerate. This is my first ever therapy experience and I appreciate her guidance when I don't really know how to approach my emotions and issues. Lindsey has given me tangible tools in the form of questionnaires, guidelines, etc. to help me process issues after our scheduled video chats have ended and does a great job of circling back on issues in follow up sessions. She is very no-nonsense when I am struggling to justify my behavior or concerns and wildly supportive when I take steps to address situations that are not serving me. I am so grateful to have her in my corner in this season of life as I explore new ways to grow and heal.
Ms.Vining is great and I love conversations with her.
Lindsey is very helpful and an amazing listener. I look forward to every session I have with her.
Lindsey is wonderful! She is so supportive, real, and gives great recommendations.
Lindsey has been fantastic! Gave me some really powerful tools during our first call that I've been using ever since to bring peace, focus and comfort in dealing with the issue I brought to her for help. She's been great about following up and has been very supportive. Would highly recommend anyone work with Lindsey.
