About Lyndee
Lyndee Ledesma is a Marriage and Family Therapist at Connections Counseling Services specializing in couples therapy, compulsive sexual behavior disorder/unwanted sexual behaviors, betrayal trauma, and OCD. She is certified in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and received specialized training in sex therapy through her graduate education.
Lyndee works with couples and individuals seeking healing, connection, and meaningful change. She believes strongly that “the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem,” and that with the right support, growth and healing are always possible. Whether clients are struggling with communication and disconnection in their marriage, intimacy concerns, betrayal trauma, unwanted sexual behaviors, or OCD, Lyndee helps clients process their experiences, identify unhealthy cycles, and develop healthier patterns and outcomes. And when change feels impossible or hope feels lost, she supports clients in recognizing their potential and moving toward meaningful progress.
What to Expect Working with Lyndee
Lyndee describes her style as collaborative, compassionate, and growth-oriented. She provides evidence-based interventions while allowing clients to lead the therapeutic process at a pace that feels safe and productive.
Her approach focuses on helping clients separate themselves from the problems they face while identifying moments when unhealthy cycles were absent or interrupted. By exploring what was different during those times, clients can begin creating lasting change and healthier patterns moving forward.
Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental, and honest environment where they are challenged just enough to recognize their own strengths and capabilities. The goal is not for clients to remain in therapy indefinitely. It is for them to receive the support, tools, and insight necessary to build more fulfilling, connected, and healthy lives.
Lyndee believes therapy works best when clients are willing to engage in the difficult but rewarding internal work required for growth and healing.
