Personal life
On February 3, 2020, Lindbeck came out as bisexual via Twitter. Lindbeck dated voice actor Billy Kametz until his death from colon cancer in June 2022.

On July 9, 2023, she left Twitter after criticizing a video for using an AI-generated voice, without her permission, of a character she voiced, Futaba Sakura singing Bo Burnham’s "Welcome to the Internet". She was harassed by individuals on Twitter following her comments. The original video was removed from YouTube, but the AI cover was reposted by additional accounts. Various voice actors, such as Mike Pollock, Josh Keaton, Sean Chiplock, and Yuri Lowenthal, along with cartoonist Vivienne Medrano, stated their support for Lindbeck and their opposition to "use of AI-generated voices". The account criticized by Lindbeck was later suspended by Twitter for violating the site's terms of service. She returned to the site and resumed posting a week later.
