About Linda
Linda Goldsmith offers direct, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor with 25 years of experience. Linda focuses on clear steps that help people feel steadier and more capable day to day.
She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma. Parenting strain, sleep trouble, intimacy worries, and career stress are also part of her practice.
How Linda works
Linda supports people dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, and the long-term effects of family of origin problems. In sessions she draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to uncover patterns and test small changes. Dialectical behavior strategies and relationship methods like the Gottman and Imago approaches are used when helpful to improve communication and emotional regulation.
The focus is on practical skills and clearer understanding rather than jargon. Linda’s style is collaborative. She listens for what matters most and helps shape goals that fit each person’s life.
Progress often comes from short experiments that can be tried between meetings. She offers care from Florida and conducts therapy in English. Sessions can include video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and then sets goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anxiety, mood swings, and self-destructive patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made, so care stays relevant and collaborative.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework ideas, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
