Lindsay Mays, LCSW, LISW-CP

Lindsay Mays is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of practice to clients in South Carolina. She holds the LCSW and the LISW-CP credentials and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma and abuse. Her approach centers on respectful listening and practical steps people can try between sessions.

Lindsay favors clear, client-centered work that honors each person’s values and choices. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those goals.

In sessions she often combines mindfulness skills and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort level. Lindsay supports people dealing with relationship stresses, intimacy concerns, workplace strain, and life transitions.

She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, substance use, and self-esteem. Lindsay offers guidance for people working through guilt, shame, or compassion fatigue, and she helps with practical coping skills for sleep, anger, and impulsivity.

If someone is curious about working together, Lindsay asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. The fee structure varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It uses short exercises and homework that fit into everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete alternatives, which often works well through discussion and guided practice. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Lindsay collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel useful. She will check in about goals, preferences, and what is most helpful on a session-by-session basis so the plan can change as needed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and making it easier to book follow-ups. Because the therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before scheduling. Online work can still include teaching skills, doing thought records, practicing mindfulness, or setting small experiments to try between appointments.
