Lindsay Mays , LCSW, LISW-CP

Lindsay Mays is a licensed social worker who brings five years of clinical experience to her therapeutic work in South Carolina. She holds the credentials LCSW and LISW-CP - LCSW stands for licensed clinical social worker and LISW-CP denotes a licensed independent social worker with clinical practice privileges - and she offers care in English for adults facing a range of life challenges.

Her practice concentrates on common and complex concerns including stress and anxiety, addictions and substance use, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, attention difficulties like ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and body image, and career or workplace struggles. She also works with clients on family dynamics, communication problems, codependency, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.

Therapeutically she integrates approaches that center the client - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and existential perspectives - tailoring interventions to match each person’s needs and goals. Her style emphasizes collaboration, practical coping strategies, and developing skills that support healthier thinking, stronger relationships, and clearer life direction.

Although she is not accepting new clients at this time, Lindsay remains focused on applying evidence-informed methods and a compassionate, person-focused stance to help individuals navigate meaningful change and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while focusing on actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions by promoting psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation by breaking problems into manageable steps and building coping strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and the development of personal insight, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and identity questions.

Lindsay approaches treatment as a collaborative process - she works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals tailor techniques to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access care from home or work. These options allow ongoing skill practice between sessions and help clients maintain continuity of care even with busy or changing lives.
