Lindsey Vining is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and career stress.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people name problems and try different ways of coping. Lindsey is direct but supportive, and she sometimes uses humor to ease difficult conversations.

She has experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health, and medical clinics. That background informs how she supports people coping with things like domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health challenges, and homelessness.

Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps. Lindsey combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based and client-centered approaches to address thinking patterns, emotional responses, and relationship challenges. She also draws on solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to encourage change.

She aims to work with each person on realistic, day-to-day strategies. That can mean practicing new communication habits, building routines for mood management, or trying brief behavioral experiments between sessions. Lindsey notes she checks messages most days and makes efforts to accommodate schedules and time zones.
