Lindsay DeMarlie, LCSW, LISW

Lindsay DeMarlie welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of trauma. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice. Lindsay’s approach is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people set clear goals and make steady progress.

She uses a client-centered style that keeps each person’s priorities in focus. Lindsay draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Her background includes substantial work with trauma, including childhood abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Lindsay has helped people living with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, as well as anxiety and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those navigating substance use and relationship concerns.

Beyond trauma work, she addresses a wide range of life stressors: parenting strain, caregiver burnout, chronic illness and pain, body image and eating issues, abandonment and attachment challenges, and communication or control problems. Her approach blends practical skill-building with empathetic listening.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where they set the pace and goals. Lindsay emphasizes clear steps, real-world strategies, and steady support while people work toward greater stability and improved daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and using online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic health concerns where living with ongoing stress is part of daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises. It often helps with mood problems, anxiety, and behavior changes by teaching step-by-step skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress is made.

If you plan to use online therapy, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when routines change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to work in online sessions, using guided exercises, homework, and real-time coaching to support progress.
