Lindsay Metli, LCSW

Lindsay Metli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of practice. She is licensed in Utah and Wyoming and lists work with needs such as anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. Her background also includes experience with parenting concerns, grief, addiction, ADHD, and challenges that come from big life changes.

She trained in psychology and holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. Her work settings have included community mental health, private practice, and psychiatric hospitals. Earlier in her career she worked in child welfare and ran therapy groups in correctional and transitional housing contexts while finishing her degrees.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with evidence-based methods. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques to address emotional distress and trauma. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and practical strategies clients can try between meetings.

Lindsay has run groups and individual work across a range of life stages. She names areas like attachment and abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and intimacy concerns among her focus areas. She also notes experience with domestic violence and dissociation in trauma work.

At home she manages a blended family with two teenage stepchildren and a toddler. That lived experience informs her understanding of everyday stressors parents face and the challenge of juggling responsibilities while coping with emotional strain.
