Lindsey McLaughlin, LCSW — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Lindsey!

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and life adjustments, using an attachment lens, compassion, and support.

My focus

I enjoy working with clients experiencing anxiety or depression, or in a major life transition. Clients who have difficulty accessing their emotions or describe themselves as less emotional than others are another focus I have experience treating due to the often misunderstood core root.

My approach

My approach utilizes a mix of modalities, with a focus on identifying distressing patterns to provide support and collaboration on helpful interventions. My most common therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, and the lens of Attachment Theory.

My communication style

The environment of my sessions is supportive, compassionate, and relational. I believe our relationship and trust are one of the most important aspects of therapy. I also strive to have sessions feel productive and goal-oriented.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion has always been helping others and analyzing on a deep level. I enjoy looking beyond surface-level conversation for roots and connections. After years of working in child welfare and then the education system, I've found therapy to be an incredibly impactful and needed resource in the world!

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative experience. Understanding your concerns and goals, then collaborating on treatment and next steps.

Our first session

Clients can expect our intake appointment to include a fairly broad overview of all that is going on in their world. Our first session is a great time to discuss reasons for therapy, overall goals, and generally getting to know each other.
