Lindsay Lohan has allegedly admitted she needs professional help.

A source close to the "inconsolable" 26-year-old actress - who attempted to overhaul her life and reignite her career after completing the terms of her last court ordered sentence for jewellery theft in March - told gossip website TMZ.com that Lindsay has been repeatedly calling her lawyer Shawn Holley in tears in recent days and has admitted she has hit rock bottom again.

But the 'Liz & Dick' star is said to still believe her bad group of friends are to blame for her constant legal troubles and led to her run-ins with "opportunists" seeking to provoke her and profit from it.

Lindsay is also still adamant she doesn't have a problem with drugs and alcohol, but thinks that counselling can solve her all of her problems.

Therapy is said to be the only possible way for the actress to avoid jail time for violating her probation.
