Getting to know Lindsay Howell
Lindsay Howell is a compassionate counselor who is passionate about helping individuals build confidence, improve self-esteem, and recognize the value of their own voice. Her path to counseling began while pursuing a teaching degree, when she realized her true passion was helping people navigate life's challenges through connection, support, and personal growth.
Lindsay believes every person’s story is unique and deserves an individualized approach. She primarily utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered techniques, tailoring treatment to each client's specific needs, goals, and experiences. She strives to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.
One of the most rewarding aspects of Lindsay’s work is witnessing clients discover their strengths, advocate for themselves, and gain confidence in who they are. She enjoys helping individuals work through concerns related to self-esteem, social anxiety, communication difficulties, life transitions, and personal growth.
Her professional background includes experience in an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) clinic, where she developed the ability to remain calm, objective, and supportive during difficult or emotionally charged conversations. Lindsay understands that trust is the foundation of effective therapy and prioritizes building a strong therapeutic relationship from the very beginning. She discusses consent, confidentiality, and expectations early in treatment and encourages clients to openly communicate if something feels uncomfortable or needs further discussion.
Lindsay earned her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University–Commerce and her Bachelor of Behavioral Sciences from Hardin-Simmons University. She is committed to helping clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as they work toward meaningful change and becoming the best version of themselves.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients should know that Lindsay Howell strives to create a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. She understands that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and she works to build a strong foundation of trust, respect, and collaboration from the very first session.
Lindsay primarily utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered approaches, but she recognizes that every individual is unique. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, she tailors therapy to each client's specific needs, goals, and experiences. Her style is warm, approachable, and collaborative, allowing clients to move at a pace that feels comfortable while still making meaningful progress toward their goals.
Clients can expect Lindsay to listen without judgment, provide support and encouragement, and help them identify patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress or challenges in their daily lives. She is passionate about helping individuals increase self-esteem, build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and develop healthier ways of coping with life's difficulties.
Lindsay believes that therapy should be a place where clients feel safe discussing anything that is on their minds. She openly discusses consent, confidentiality, and expectations at the beginning of the therapeutic relationship and encourages clients to communicate if they ever feel uncomfortable or need clarification. Her goal is to ensure that clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the counseling process.
Drawing from her experience in behavioral health settings, Lindsay remains calm, objective, and supportive even when discussing difficult or emotional topics. She is committed to helping clients recognize their strengths, find their voice, and become the best version of themselves while navigating life's challenges with greater confidence and self-awareness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Lindsay Howell believes that successful therapy begins with trust, safety, and a strong therapeutic relationship. During the first session, she focuses on getting to know the client, learning about their concerns, goals, strengths, and life experiences. She also reviews important topics such as informed consent, confidentiality, and the counseling process so clients understand what to expect and feel comfortable asking questions.
Lindsay recognizes that opening up can feel vulnerable, especially in the early stages of therapy. She works to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel respected, heard, and accepted. Building rapport is a priority, and she encourages clients to provide feedback if something feels uncomfortable or if they would like a different approach.
As therapy progresses, sessions are tailored to each client's individual needs and goals. Lindsay primarily utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered techniques to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, they explore challenges, identify patterns that may be contributing to distress, and develop practical strategies to create meaningful change.
A typical session may include discussing current stressors, processing emotions, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing coping skills, and celebrating progress along the way. Lindsay believes that each client is the expert on their own life, so therapy is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Her goal is to provide a safe space where clients feel comfortable discussing anything that may be affecting their well-being. Whether clients are working through anxiety, self-esteem concerns, communication challenges, life transitions, or personal growth, Lindsay is committed to helping them gain confidence, develop insight, and move toward the best version of themselves.

More information on payments and coverage
Before your first appointment, our team will gather and verify your commercial insurance benefits to help you clearly understand your financial responsibility. This process includes confirming your coverage, eligibility, copay, coinsurance, deductible status, and any authorization requirements. Once verified, we will provide you with an estimate of your expected cost per session so there are no surprises.
As a courtesy, we handle claim submission on your behalf and work directly with your insurance company. We follow your plan’s Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and will only collect what is determined to be your responsibility according to your coverage. If your insurance processes a claim differently than initially estimated, we will communicate any updates promptly and transparently.
We also accept many Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), which may offer a set number of sessions at little to no cost. Our team will verify your EAP benefits and help coordinate those services if applicable.
For clients seeking more affordable options, we offer low-cost counseling sessions with a Master’s level student counselor under the supervision of a licensed professional. This provides access to quality care at a reduced rate while still ensuring appropriate clinical oversight.
Our goal is to make the financial aspect of therapy as simple, transparent, and manageable as possible, so you can focus on your care.
