How Linda works
She then works with clients to try small, manageable changes that can make daily life easier. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with an emphasis on attachment and relational patterns. This mix helps address issues like codependency, communication problems, and family of origin wounds.
Linda also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, and complex emotions such as guilt, shame, and unresolved grief. She offers guidance for life transitions, midlife concerns, and finding renewed purpose. Sessions may cover building self-compassion, improving social anxiety or phobia, and working through challenges related to traumatic brain injury and women’s issues.

How Linda’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small, committed actions to move toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Linda collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust the plan as progress and challenges emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
