I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to support individuals and families. With extensive experience in trauma-informed practice, mental health counseling, and strengths-based intervention, I empower clients to navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful, sustainable change.

Grounded in a client-centered approach, I integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and solution-focused techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including clinical, community, and educational settings, helping diverse populations build resilience, enhance their well-being, and improve overall functioning. I am passionate about advocating for accessible mental health care, promoting emotional wellness, and guiding clients toward greater self-awareness and growth.

I hold a deep belief in the power of human connection, and bring warmth, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to every therapeutic relationship

Lyndsay Brischoux

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am passionate about helping individuals create

meaningful change in their lives through a collaborative, supportive, and empowering therapeutic process.

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or

feeling stuck.

Rather than focusing only on problems, I work with clients to uncover their strengths, develop practical

skills, and reconnect with their values. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, daily stress, or seeking

personal growth, therapy can be a space for insight, healing, and real change.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University and bring both clinical training and

deep compassion into every session.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in New York

Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
