About Lindsay

Lindsay Van Gorder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with 11 years of practice. She focuses on practical, person-focused care and aims to create a respectful, sensitively paced space for people who are struggling. Lindsay meets clients where they are and helps them take small steps toward change.

Her background includes work with people facing depression, anxiety, and substance use concerns. She also has experience supporting people who have lived with physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Background and approach

Much of her prior work involved clients affected by HIV/AIDS and people connected to the LGBTQ community. Lindsay uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused approaches to keep sessions collaborative and goal oriented.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is part of her toolkit for addressing trauma-related distress. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Conversations are tuned to respect identity and reduce stigma while focusing on actionable changes.

She keeps the pace flexible and adapts strategies to fit everyday life constraints. People who value a warm, interactive counselor may find this approach useful. Lindsay emphasizes empathy and practical steps, whether someone needs short-term problem solving or longer-term work on relational and attachment patterns.

Online support

How attachment and trauma approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. In sessions this often means mapping how trust, closeness, and conflict show up now and trying different ways of relating. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to address trauma-related memories and intense emotional reactions through structured processing techniques to reduce distress linked to past events. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and pace; the therapist listens deeply and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing a plan.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the client’s goals, comfort, and rhythm. Many people blend approaches - for example pairing attachment-focused work with targeted trauma processing - so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for relational work and EMDR-style processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or get support when scheduling in-person meetings is difficult. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
