Hello! My name is Lindsay Dunnells and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) in New Jersey and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with psychotherapy privileges' (LCSW-R) in New York. Since 2007 I have worked as a behavioral health clinician providing individual, family, and group services that focus primarily on substance use disorders, healthy relationships, anger and stress management, depression and anxiety, and communication challenges.
I generally employ an eclectic approach to working with clients, based on their presenting needs, including Cognitive and Rational Emotive Behavioral therapies, psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing/Motivational Enhancement Therapy, and mindfulness -based techniques. I strive to provide services in a manner that is client centered and solution focused, honoring the unique experiences in each individuals life. Therapy should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and comfortable, allowing you to share openly, cultivate self awareness, and develop self efficacy applying tools developed to achieve your goals. I serve as your objective individual to guide and support you on your journey toward achieving your goals.
I honor the strength and courage it takes to begin therapy and look forward to embarking on the journey with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is great to work with
Lindsay literally helped me live probably the most productive year of my life!!
Lindsey has been a dime of a dozen. I’ve meet with many therapists before and she has been one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend
Lindsay s extremely professional and insightful. I value and appreciate her input.
Lindsay is fantastic. She is accessible, she truly listens and offers productive, specific feedback/suggestions, and she meets you where you are. She is the embodiment of a compassionate, competent therapist.
Lindsay is great, even when I know I am not communicating in my most effective way. She is very supportive and I feel genuinely cared about when we do live sessions or I message her.
Lindsay is amazing, thoughtful and caring. She is someone who will care for you and she shows it in many ways. I’m really glad I get to talk to her. Her energy is very peaceful.
I was very hesitant to try BetterHelp because of the price and my current financial situation but after just one week of working with Lindsey and I feel like I have someone willing to help me and not just “treat” me and send me on my way. I’m very hopeful for the progress I think is possible for me.
She has been great and very helpful.
Lindsay is great. I’m so happy to have her in my life.
I’ve had a few sessions with Lindsay and so far I have been feeling so much better. I look forward to our weekly talks. She listens, respects and gives great advice!
Lindsay is great! She’s like a cheerleader and so supportive
Lindsay has been great so far! I find her easy to talk to and I like the better help platform so that I can message her outside of session if needed. She has been very supportive and kind.
