Lindsay Orlowski, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Lindsay!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’ve recently transitioned my practice to Parent‑Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and am seeking motivated families ready to engage in this evidence‑based, transformative treatment. PCIT provides structured support to strengthen relationships and reduce challenging behaviors.

My focus

I’ve worked with many populations, but found my calling in supporting children and their caregivers. I’m seeking motivated families with children facing behavioral challenges. When other approaches haven’t helped, PCIT offers a structured, effective path forward.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is warm and direct, offering a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and respected while being gently challenged toward your goals. I walk alongside you with compassion and honesty to support meaningful, lasting change.

My communication style

I am warm, engaging, and reliable, bringing humor and expressiveness into my work. My communication style is open, direct, and grounded, with moments of lightness that help clients feel at ease while staying focused on meaningful growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a survivor of significant childhood trauma, and I strive to be the therapist I once needed. My lived experience gives me a unique perspective in this work—I understand both the role of the helper and what it feels like to be the one needing help.

My goals for you

A clear, collaborative goal‑setting process is one of the anchors of effective therapy, especially in work with children and families.

Our first session

An intake PCIT session reviews your child’s behaviors, family routines, and goals. You’ll discuss history, strengths, and challenges, and learn how PCIT works. The focus is on building a clear plan and ensuring the treatment is a good fit for your family.
