About Lindsay

Lindsay Metli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She describes her approach as holistic and integrative - treating the whole person by attending to mind, body, and spirit while using evidence-based methods tailored to each individual.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. Lindsay has provided care across community mental health, private practice, and psychiatric hospital settings, and she previously worked in child welfare advocating for children and families. During her training she volunteered in a prison mental health unit teaching life skills to women and led therapy groups at a women’s halfway house. She is licensed to practice in Utah and Wyoming and brings a broad range of experience working with individuals, families, and groups.

People who work with Lindsay often find her down to earth and easy to talk with. Her clinical focus includes treatment for physical, emotional, and sexual trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, addictions, relationship difficulties, and adjustment to major life changes. She uses a variety of modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, and family systems theory to meet each person’s needs.

Outside of practice Lindsay is part of a blended family with two teenage stepchildren and a young son. Her husband is a veteran and she has hands-on experience managing household responsibilities when he is away. Empowering others is a core professional value she brings to her work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps the person identify their own strengths and goals. This approach is useful for people working through relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills that can be used between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. It is often used when traumatic experiences are a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsay works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations and at times that fit busy schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
