About Lindsey
Lindsey Hoffman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward support feel manageable. Lindsey brings four years of social work experience and works from a strengths-based perspective.
She has spent much of her career supporting people with postpartum mood concerns, family conflict, and parenting stress. She has also worked with people from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and military-connected households.
Background and approach
Lindsey listens first and helps clients set practical goals. In sessions she prefers clear, direct conversations. She helps people identify small, doable changes and build on existing strengths.
Lindsey uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates EMDR techniques when trauma and past events are part of the concern. Lindsey focuses on concrete skills like sleep routines, coping strategies for panic or anxiety, and problem-solving around caregiver or adoption-related stress.
She supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, career strain, and issues related to attention or impulsivity. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances short-term problem solving with deeper work as needed. Lindsey offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
She practices in Hawaii and provides services in English.

Therapeutic approaches brought to online care
Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with sleep or routines.Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, helps when past events continue to affect daily life. It is often used for post-traumatic stress, panic, and distressing memories and aims to reduce the intensity of those memories over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean starting with solution-focused techniques for quick coping strategies, then adding CBT or EMDR when deeper work is needed.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to use therapeutic tools consistently.
