About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is a counselor and mental health coach based in Florida. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings 15 years of experience to her work. Her background includes roles in crisis intervention, addiction services, research, and private practice. She combines practical guidance with a calm, down-to-earth presence.

Dr. Ghannam focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, career strain, and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of major life changes. Her work often includes attention to attachment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image.

Her approach mixes several therapeutic styles. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and act in line with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas shape how she builds trust and listens to each person’s story.

Many clients come for short-term coaching and symptom relief, while others choose longer work on deeper life patterns. Sessions often include practical tools, simple experiments to try between meetings, and goal-focused conversations. Dr. Ghannam also draws on holistic interests like nutrition and natural remedies when they fit a person’s goals.

She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life-change issues where choosing actions matters more than getting rid of every uncomfortable feeling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It often helps with sleep problems, anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day coping by changing patterns in thinking and behavior.

Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas guide how she builds a trusting working relationship and listens closely to each person’s history and needs. These help when relationship patterns, attachment wounds, or family-of-origin themes shape current struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment work, or a mix makes sense. That plan can shift as progress unfolds.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping conversations consistent when people travel or live abroad.
