Online support options
How Linda’s Approaches Work Online
Linda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT often includes practical exercises and short skill-building tasks you can practice between sessions.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Linda collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and let people connect in ways that suit their routines and energy levels.
