Lindsay Metli, LCSW

Lindsay Metli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of practice based in Utah. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and anger. She also helps with issues like addiction, parenting strain, grief, and career-related stress.

Lindsay trained at the University of Utah, earning a Master of Social Work after a bachelor of science in psychology. She has worked in community mental health, private practice, and psychiatric hospital settings. Her background includes time in child welfare and volunteer work running groups in correctional and transitional settings.

In session she takes a practical, person-focused approach. She looks at a person's life broadly and uses evidence-based techniques to address concrete problems. Common steps include setting goals, practicing coping skills, and trying strategies between sessions to see what helps.

Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and EMDR among other methods. Lindsay draws on those approaches to help with things like managing intense feelings, improving communication, and adjusting after big life changes. She talks through coping options and helps people choose what fits their daily life.

Lindsay also brings real-world experience as a parent in a blended family and as a partner to a veteran. That background informs how she helps people balance responsibilities, handle frustration, and make practical changes that ease daily stressors.
