About Lindsey
Lindsey Yarbrough is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who want clearer relationships, steadier emotion, and better coping when life gets hard. Lindsey lists relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, career strain, and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus.
Lindsey approaches care through the lens of relationships. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck with themselves and others. That can mean looking at attachment and abandonment wounds, communication problems, control issues, or family of origin dynamics that keep repeating.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. That includes improving communication, setting boundaries, repairing breaches like infidelity, and handling money or career stress. She also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, midlife reassessment, or grief after a loss.
She talks plainly about struggles like guilt, shame, isolation, and emptiness while helping clients explore forgiveness and renewed purpose. Lindsey encourages flexibility with change and clearer awareness of how past patterns show up now. Her style aims to help people build a healthier relationship with themselves first, then with others.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in California. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Lindsey frames therapeutic approaches online
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and behavior. One approach emphasizes attachment and how early bonds shape present reactions; it helps when people want to understand why they react strongly to closeness, rejection, or control. Another approach targets communication and conflict patterns, teaching specific ways to express needs and receive feedback without escalation.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Lindsey treats this as a collaborative process - she and the client look at goals, preferences, and what actually helps in weekly sessions, then adjust the approach over time.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and the ability to fit meetings into a workday or home life without extra travel. Because the exact session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people appreciate being able to continue steady work on anger, relationships, grief, or stress even when life is busy, and Lindsey aims to make therapy manageable alongside everyday demands.
