About Lindsay Metli

Lindsay Metli is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. She practices in Utah and Wyoming and brings a holistic, integrative perspective that considers mind, body, and spirit while using evidence-based treatments to meet each person’s unique needs. She is told by clients that she is down to earth and helps them feel at ease, and she focuses on empowering individuals, families, and groups to make meaningful, sustainable changes.

Lindsay earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. As an LCSW - which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and indicates graduate-level training in therapy and social services - she has provided care in community mental health settings, private practice, and psychiatric hospitals. Her background also includes child welfare advocacy, volunteer work in a prison mental health unit teaching life skills, and leading therapy groups at a women’s halfway house.

Her clinical interests include treating physical, emotional, and sexual trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, addictions, relationship and family conflict, grief, parenting concerns, and adjustment to major life changes. She integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness practices, narrative and solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, and family systems theory to tailor care to each person’s goals. Outside of practice, Lindsay’s life in a blended family with two teenage stepchildren and a young son, alongside a husband who is a veteran, informs her understanding of the stresses of managing home and caregiving responsibilities. She looks forward to supporting others as they work toward greater balance and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lindsay draws on client-centered therapy to build a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship that centers each person’s experience and priorities - a helpful foundation for a wide range of concerns from relationship challenges to grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. She also employs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, as a targeted approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Choosing the most effective approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsay collaborates with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques so the plan evolves based on what is most helpful for them.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or other convenient locations while still working with a licensed therapist who tailors treatment to individual needs.
