Does managing your health feel like a full-time job?

Online Mental Health Therapy for Teens & Adults in Missouri

Living with chronic illness & pain is exhausting.

Hi, I’m Lindsey Mann, PLPC. I’m a mental health therapist who lives with chronic illness and pain, too.

I know the grief that comes with living in an unpredictable body. Grief in the small moments when you have to cancel because you’re in a pain flare…again. It’s a heavy thing to carry.

I help teens and adults navigate the emotional weight and mental load of living with chronic illness and pain. Together, we can create a life that feels meaningful, even if your health doesn’t change.

Chronic Illness & Pain Affect More Than Just the Body

If you’re like many of my clients, you may also be experiencing:

Ongoing anxiety about your health or the future – Struggling to plan because you never know what knew symptom your body will uncover.

Unrelenting Grief – Being hit by wave after wave of grief with new losses every day.

Relationship strain – Struggling to balance asking for help, while also not wanting to be a burden.

Increased Isolation – Feeling like no one understands and slowly losing support over time.

Loss of self – Feeling like a shell of who you used to be, unsure how to get back to yourself.

Depression – Feeling numb, lost, and tired of carrying this heaviness.

Living with chronic illness and pain is exhausting, but you don’t have to carry it alone.

Step 1: Start with a Discovery Call

We’ll begin with a free 15-minute consultation to talk about what you're experiencing and what you're looking for in therapy. This is a chance for us to get to know each other and see if I’m the right fit to support your journey.

Step 2: Begin Your Personalized Therapy Sessions

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule your first 50-minute virtual session. We’ll get to know each other, talk about what’s been weighing on you, and explore what you’d like to feel different in your everyday life.
