About Lindsay

Dr. Lindsay Ghannam is an LPC and LMHC based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting concerns, depression, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She also lists ADHD, compassion fatigue, career questions, and coping with life changes among her areas of practice.

Dr. Ghannam describes a practical, client-centered approach. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and existential perspectives. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and experimenting with small changes that can fit into a busy household routine.

Her background includes work as a crisis intervention specialist, addictions specialist, research analyst, and years in private practice. She also holds a Doctor of Education in Counseling and credentials as a body-mind coach and domestic violence counselor. That blend of clinical and coaching work shapes a style that attends to daily habits as well as deeper relationship patterns.

People who want help with parenting strain, communication problems, blended family issues, or caregiving stress may find the practical focus useful. She also lists areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness, and cancer-related stress among the topics she addresses.

Outside of clinical work she shares information about natural approaches to anxiety and healthy living, and she raises three children. She accepts English-language sessions and works with international clients; confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to tolerate uncomfortable thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and tests out new ways of responding to stress, sleep problems, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape emotions and communication and can be useful when family roles or caregiving strain feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, daily life, and how they prefer to work. That means trying a strategy for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, sleep strategies, and communication practice to an online setting so the work connects to everyday family life.
