Lindsay Kruse

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Florida and Texas, specializing in anxiety, panic attacks, depression, sleep disturbances, and chronic medical conditions such as chronic pain, skin conditions, and diabetes. I work with adults 18 and older and have significant experience supporting individuals age 65+. I have over 15 years of experience as a therapist and more than 20 years in the mental health field across a variety of settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of South Florida and an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology. Originally from Minnesota, I have lived and practiced in Florida for over 20 years.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and conversational. I’m frequently told I’m very easy to talk to, and I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space. I often incorporate humor to help clients feel at ease, which can be a powerful coping tool in stressful times. I draw from a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable and supported. We’ll get to know each other, talk about what brings you to therapy, and explore meaningful goals for our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
