About Lindsey

Lindsey Yarbrough is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 13 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns and helps people who are struggling with their connections to themselves and others. Lindsey often works with issues like anxiety, grief, stress, life changes, and challenges tied to work or family roles.

Her approach centers on the idea that a healthier relationship with yourself helps every other relationship. She invites clients to try new ways of relating and to be open to change. Sessions typically include talking through patterns, identifying what matters most, and practicing small shifts that can ease daily life.

Lindsey supports people facing intimacy problems, attachment and abandonment worries, communication breakdowns, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and isolation, plus concerns around career direction, compassion fatigue, and money or financial stress.

She describes the work as collaborative and practical. Lindsey aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, improve communication, and find steadier footing during transitions. Her style is straightforward and focused on everyday steps people can try between sessions.

Clients meet with a California LMFT who brings years of direct clinical experience. The first meetings are used to understand what the client wants to change and to plan simple, realistic next steps together.

How Lindsey's approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for relationship and life-change concerns focus on understanding patterns and building new habits. One common approach looks at how relationships form and repeat patterns - it helps people identify attachment needs, communication habits, and where conflict keeps recurring. Another approach focuses on practical problem-solving and skill building, teaching clear communication, emotion regulation, and step-by-step changes that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lindsey plans sessions with each person to match techniques to the client's goals and preferences. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reducing travel time and allowing more consistent scheduling. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help them stay engaged between appointments and practice new skills in real time, while others prefer in-person work when available. The therapist will discuss what will best support your goals when you begin.
