About Linda
Linda Flynn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on recovery from narcissistic abuse, addiction, depression, and related relational wounds. Linda helps people rebuild self-trust and emotional stability after prolonged emotional harm.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She pays attention to how early and recent relationships shape feelings and behavior. That perspective helps when someone feels stuck in patterns of control, manipulation, or people-pleasing.
How Linda works
Linda also uses cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior techniques to teach concrete skills. Clients learn ways to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce harmful coping, and handle triggers as they come up. Sessions include practical strategies alongside deeper work on meaning and values.
She brings 15 years of clinical practice in Kentucky to cases involving addiction, trauma, and mood challenges. Linda supports people facing anxiety, stress, bipolar concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and caregiver strain. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and challenges tied to aging or chronic illness.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Linda centers each person’s experience and aims to strengthen day-to-day functioning. For people ready to change, she focuses on building reliable coping skills and clearer, kinder self-connection.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Linda often draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how patterns from past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. That approach helps people understand trust, boundaries, and closeness in a clear, relational way. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes listening and meeting each person where they are, helping them find their own answers through reflective conversation.Linda pairs those relational approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques to teach practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and unhelpful thinking. Together these methods help with trauma recovery, addictions, stress, and relationship concerns. Finding the right mix is part of the work - she collaborates with each person to match goals, needs, and preferences and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are options for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These choices help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
