Lindsey Huttner, LCSW

Lindsey Huttner is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety that shows up in the body. She works with clients who feel physically overwhelmed by worry, racing thoughts, or panic and want practical ways to feel steadier. Lindsey speaks plainly and focuses on small steps that fit into busy lives.

She views anxiety as the nervous system staying stuck in an 'on' position. Lindsey uses short, science-informed strategies to change how the brain and body respond to stress. These methods aim to reduce intense sensations and make anxiety easier to move through.

Her work includes supporting people with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and she uses exposure-based methods for those concerns. She also helps with pregnancy, childbirth, fertility struggles, and the months after childbirth when mental health can feel fragile.

Lindsey teaches values-based goal setting so actions match what matters most. That often looks like choosing clear next steps, practicing experiments between sessions, and building routines that sustain energy. The focus is on creating a meaningful life without sacrificing wellbeing.

With 17 years of experience as an LCSW in New York, she blends cognitive behavioral tools, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Sessions move at a practical pace and emphasize skills clients can try right away. Lindsey offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules.

How Lindsey’s approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In practice this looks like breaking big problems into small experiments, tracking reactions, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. It teaches how to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control choices, which can be useful for life changes, career decisions, and parenting transitions.

Lindsey uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily sensations and thoughts without judgment. These short exercises can lower reactivity and create calmer moments during a stressful day.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Lindsey collaborates with each person to match tools to their goals, needs, and daily schedule. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this style of work. Video sessions allow face-to-face skill teaching and real-time exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing coaching, quick troubleshooting between visits, and progress notes you can revisit. These options make it easier to fit regular practice into busy routines and life transitions.
