In a non-judgemental, open, and safe atmosphere we work together on issues you are facing in your life at this time. Perhaps past experiences and trauma are interfering with your life today. Perhaps everything seemed fine up until now and suddenly stress in your home is happening and you don't know what to do. Situations and other people in our life can trigger a wide range of emotions including anger, frustration, deep sadness, uncontrollable anxiety, confusion, fear, and even numbness. Allow me to work with you on your journey from chaos and emotional turmoil to peace and happiness. Working together, we will discover what works best for you. Do you need to talk to someone who will listen and not judge you? Do you need some direction with what to do next? Do you need some coping skills for difficult situations? I have been counseling for over 7 years. It has been my honor to work with people, like you, who struggle at times to navigate day to day life, or are faced with changes, loss, or big decisions. I have worked in various agencies, a psychiatric hospital, and a program for teens and their families. I look forward to working with YOU!

I’m glad you're here! My name is Lindsay Lientz, and I’m a professional counselor. Before I say anything else, it’s important to welcome and congratulate you. Asking for help is not easy for everyone. You’ve taken a bigger step than you realize in simply beginning your search. Soon I believe you’ll find out just how far you can go toward making your life what you really want it to be, so congrats on taking that first step. I’ve been in the counseling profession for 25 years. It’s been one of the most rewarding choices I made as a young person. I place high value on the people with whom I work. Most often, my approach includes helping people realize what they already knew, and just need the encouragement and safe space to say aloud. My counseling approach is eclectic, but one unchanging factor is the time and patience I extend to everyone. We all need a safe space to open up. On a personal note, my favorite thing in the world is being a dad and a "papa." I have two young adult children, a granddaughter, and I also am a “dad again” to my wife’s children. Together, we have several dogs, and have started raising chickens, so life can sometimes be noisy and active! When I’m not doing the work I love, I prefer to spend time outdoors doing anything that keeps me moving. I believe movement is life. Some of the choices you’ll make over the next couple years could set you on a really successful course. I would be happy to be part of your team, helping encourage you toward the next stage of life. Thanks again for taking this first big step - no matter who you choose to work with, I believe you'll make progress toward the person you want and the world needs.

Everyone has a story to tell. Whether it be long or short. It is your story. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with board certification and Master Certified Health Coach, I want to hear your story. Why? Because it is your story and you deserve to tell it.

I graduated from Dallas Baptist University May of 2014. I did my Internship at Texoma Community Center (formerly the MHMR of Grayson County) in Sherman, TX as an Intake Specialist. I became a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor 11/2017 No. 71823. I continued at Texoma Community Center for an additional four and a half years as a mental health counselor. I started at Tidemark Therapy as a counselor in May 2020. Now I am looking to transition into my own practice and am looking for clients on BetterHelp to feel empty slots. I have worked with a wide variety of clients. My counseling experience dealt with people struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, chronic pain, and emotional control. I have had success with clients that have anything from a diagnosed disorder to short-term adjustment issues. I believe that attempts at real change create losses that need to be mourned. I have helped clients to let go of old habits that have been a comfort. In the case of situational loss, I can help with reimagining life after loss, be it the death of a loved one to a loss of a job. I have helped others to redefine their future so they can move on. I have had success with those who have emotional control issues by applying a program designed to help emotional issues surrounding addiction/negative coping. Negative coping can be anything one uses to avoid fear or emotional pain. These can be behaviors and responses that can interfere with healthy functioning. I use concepts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I break down the concepts that help provide a way of talking about thinking, without which can get very abstract. I am also very aware of how spiritual beliefs can help with the counseling process. With the client’s permission I am willing to use a client’s belief system to provide support and encouragement to help navigate the counseling process. Sessions are usually 45 minutes long and go at the client’s pace. The sessions are flexible to allow time to deal with any new issues that may come up. The client is allowed to give feedback should they experience discomfort or become emotional. I do not believe in going into all the client’s sensitive experiences in order to counsel them. I strive to never probe areas that are not necessary to work on the client’s identified treatment goals. (These goals are defined collaboratively with the client and therapist’s input.) My goal is to never send a client out the door feeling emotionally torn up, but rather have them leave feeling hopeful. I believe, even if the subject matter is hard, it does not have to negatively affect one’s hope.
