About Lindsay
Lindsay Metli is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 11 years of experience to her counseling practice. She focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and move toward clear goals. Lindsay aims to make sessions down to earth and approachable so clients can talk through what matters most to them.
She takes a whole-person view, looking at mind, body, and spirit when making a plan. That means treatment is tailored to each person's needs and may combine different methods that have evidence behind them. Lindsay often works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and coping with life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Lindsay earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. She holds LCSW licensure in Utah and Wyoming and has practiced in community mental health, private practice, and psychiatric hospital settings. Earlier in her career she worked in child welfare and led groups in correctional and transitional living settings.
Her approach tends to be warm and practical. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and EMDR when those fit a person's goals. Sessions often focus on building skills, improving communication, and managing strong emotions.
Lindsay balances clinical work with family life in Utah and draws on that everyday experience when helping people with caregiving stress, blended family concerns, parenting strain, and commitment or attachment struggles. She welcomes conversation about goals and next steps for therapy.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring each session to the person in front of the therapist; it helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for handling intense feelings and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lindsay will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay useful and relevant to day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like skill practice, mindfulness exercises, and structured CBT worksheets to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
