Lindsey Khan

Lindsey Khan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or struggles with self-esteem. Lindsey’s work often focuses on practical coping skills and clearer thinking so people can move forward day to day.

Her background includes supporting people with ADHD, impulsivity, and workplace challenges. She also helps those wrestling with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and issues tied to identity and relationships. Lindsey pays attention to life transitions and the pressures of young adulthood and parenting.

In sessions she uses a collaborative, compassionate style. Lindsey listens first, then helps clients set specific goals and try straightforward tools. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and checking what actually works between meetings.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches are used to address thoughts, emotions, and the actions that follow.

Lindsey aims to create an affirming space for diverse communities and people in search of purpose or clearer direction. Her focus is on helping clients build resilience, reduce unhelpful patterns, and make practical changes that improve daily life.

How Lindsey’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action. It helps people who feel stuck or unsure about purpose and who want to live more intentionally. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behavior, which can reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help with impulsivity and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsey will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts methods based on what is helping and what isn’t.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Lindsey’s approaches can be adapted to remote work, and online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Many people appreciate being able to schedule shorter check-ins on a workday, avoid travel time, or use audio-only options when less bandwidth is needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your rhythm and needs before your first appointment.
