Mary Lindsey HigginsLCSW

Mary Lindsey Higgins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of therapy experience. She welcomes people who are considering counseling and acknowledges how hard that first step can feel. Her style is calm and practical, geared toward helping clients feel understood and find workable next steps.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Western Kentucky University and began practicing as a therapist in 2015 after working in the mental health field since 2009. Her Kentucky LCSW credential is listed as LCSW, and she uses that background to guide treatment choices.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She tailors interventions to how each client expresses, processes, and learns. That means sessions can include goal-focused strategies, reflective conversation, or skill practice depending on what fits the person best.

Mary Lindsey helps with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, grief, and substance use. She also addresses issues people often bring during pregnancy and childbirth, plus body image, self-esteem, and relationship challenges.

In sessions she focuses on empathy, education, and empowerment. Conversations aim to clarify what’s happening now, identify small changes to try, and build toward longer-term goals. Even if someone isn’t sure what they want yet, she supports exploring next steps and creating a clearer plan.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Mary Lindsey commonly uses client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral strategies to guide her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and shaping sessions around the client's needs and pace; it helps when someone needs understanding and a space to sort feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns; it can help with anxiety, mood changes, and habit-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That process may start with gentle conversation and move into skill practice or action steps as the client feels ready.

For online therapy logistics, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online options can support continued work on stress, parenting concerns, pregnancy and childbirth related worries, grief, and substance use recovery by keeping therapy accessible around everyday life.
