About Linda
Linda Cousens is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, anger, career crossroads, and compassion fatigue. Linda works with clients who want practical steps and clear goals to move forward.
She brings 22 years of experience to her practice and has worked in independent practice for more than a decade.
How Linda works
Linda holds a Master’s degree in counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Study, and she uses those foundations to guide her work. Her style is straightforward and focused on what the client needs now. In sessions she focuses on goals people set together.
She uses tools drawn from several approaches to help people reduce distress and build skills. That might look like learning new ways to handle upsetting thoughts, practicing present-moment awareness, or trying small behavioral changes that add up. Linda tailors sessions to each person’s situation.
She values collaboration, practical problem solving, and helping people find meaning during hard transitions. Conversations are aimed at usable steps rather than abstract theory. People who choose her often want a calm, experienced clinician who offers structure and encouragement.
Linda helps clients track progress and adjust plans as they move toward their goals.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small, value-driven actions even when emotions are strong. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own capacity to find solutions; it can help people feel heard and build self-directed change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client choose methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process lets goals and techniques evolve as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls make it easier to read facial cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging options allow shorter check-ins or written reflections between meetings. These formats make it simpler to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum toward goals.
