About Linda
Linda Levinson is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience. She began her career after earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment and has since focused on addiction recovery and related concerns. Linda works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and substance or process addictions.
She also supports clients navigating identity, intimacy, and relationship challenges. Her background includes helping people recover from opioid abuse and co-occurring disorders.
How Linda works
That work shaped her approach to trauma, shame, anger, and low self-esteem. Linda also has experience with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions. Linda offers support for those in the LGBT community and for people exploring sexual identity.
She helps clients process sexual trauma, grief, or sexual dysfunction, and supports people in open or non-monogamous relationships. Acceptance and empowerment are central to her practice. In sessions she helps people identify what is holding them back and what strengths they already have.
She mixes practical tools with reflective conversation to match each person’s needs. Techniques draw from acceptance and commitment work, client-centered listening, cognitive strategies, and mindfulness. Her practice also addresses a wide range of life stresses including caregiving strain, chronic illness, aging concerns, career shifts, parenting stress, and coping after divorce or disaster.
Linda aims to help people set goals and take manageable steps toward better daily functioning.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, addictions, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel understood and to build self-direction; it is useful for low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleeping problems, and addiction urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Collaboration guides adjustments so techniques are tailored and realistic for daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief touchpoints, journaling-style reflection, or ongoing coaching between scheduled sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health routines while using therapeutic tools consistently.
