Dr. Mindy Siegert-Horgeshimer , LPCC, LMHC

Dr. Mindy Siegert-Horgeshimer has worked as a licensed counselor for 17 years in Indiana and Minnesota. She is credentialed as an LPCC and an LMHC and focuses on helping people who are carrying stress, anxiety, depression, or struggling with addictions. She also offers support around LGBT concerns and women's issues.

Her approach begins by making space for honest talk. She aims to create an open environment where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. That first step toward change is often the hardest, and she focuses on steady support as people move forward.

Dr. Siegert-Horgeshimer uses practical methods to help people manage symptoms and build routines that fit daily life. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses client-centered strategies to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and experience.

When motivation is a barrier, she brings in motivational interviewing to clarify values and boost readiness for change. For intense emotions and relationship stress, she incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and emotion regulation. Sessions aim to be concrete and skill-focused so people leave with tools to try between appointments.

She works with adults seeking help for life transitions, workplace strain, social anxiety, sexuality questions, gender dysphoria, or a search for life purpose. Services are offered in English and to international clients, with a practical focus on small steps that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Siegert-Horgeshimer blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice patterns and make changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's goals while building a trusting space to talk. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical steps to test and change those patterns.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions or relationship stress make daily life harder. DBT techniques emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that people can practice between sessions. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels manageable.

Online therapy with Dr. Siegert-Horgeshimer includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper weekly sessions, phone calls can fit into a work break, and chat or text can support shorter check-ins or reminders. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try new skills in real time while staying flexible around work, travel, or busy days.
